LAWYERS’ DEMAND: The DBA has demanded that the district courts be dissociated from the Multan Bench of the Lahore High Court and associated with the Lahore High Court, Lahore. The demand was mooted by the district bar in the wake of the Punjab government’s decision to make Sahiwal a new division. Sahiwal, now ninth division of Punjab, consists of Pakpattan, Okara and Sahiwal districts. Sahiwal district courts are linked with the Multan Bench of the LHC, while Okara and Pakpattan district courts are linked with the LHC, Lahore.
