MIRPURKHAS, Feb 27: The arrival of the ‘judicial bus’ in Mirpurkhas on March 1 has been postponed and now the judicial bus will arrive here on 22.

Mirpurkhas District Bar Association president Salahuddin Panhwar told journalists here on Wednesday that the judicial bus -- carrying deposed judges of the Sindh High Court, senior lawyers and office-bearers of different bar associations ---would reach Mirpurkhas on March 22 at 1pm.

They would be accorded warm welcome at Jamrao Canal bridge, he added.

The deposed judges, senior lawyers and office-bearers of bar associations were coming to Mirpurkhas to attend oath taking ceremony of newly elected office-bearers of the Mirpurkhas DBA, Mr Panhwar said.

Last week they had undertaken a similar journey to Hyderabad.

The newly-elected office-bearers of Hyderabad and Mirpurkhas bar associations have refused to be administered oath by the chief justice of Sindh High Court on the ground that he has taken oath under the controversial Provisional Constitution Order. They have preferred deposed chief justice of Sindh High Court, Justice Sabihuddin, for the task because he refused to take oath under the PCO.
