HARIPUR, Jan 25: Lawyers from the Hazara region would stage a protest demonstration against the arrival of judges at the Peshawar High Court Abbottabad Bench on Monday.

The judges had taken oath under the Provisional Constitution Order (PCO). According to a statement, issued here on Friday, general-secretary High Court Bar Association Javed Qureshi said that lawyers from all districts of the region had been invited to attend an emergency meeting in this regard on the same day.

He urged the lawyers to abide by the decision of the Sarhad Bar Council and continue their boycott to appear in the courts of these judges.
