GUJRANWALA, Jan 5: The Punjab Bar Council directed the bar secretary to get registered a criminal case against the Gujranwala district bar association president for embezzling enrolment fee of some lawyers and referred the matter to the PBC tribunal for the cancellation of his license on Friday.
Reports said that lawyers, Muhammad Aslam Cheema, Muhammad Anwer Naro, Miss Sakeena Bibi and Miss Ambreen Naila, had filed a petition before the PBC executive committee, pleading that they paid their enrolment fee to DBA president Ilyas Rehan, but he embezzled it with the abetment of his clerk.
During the hearing of the case, the PBC found him guilty of charges.
Ilyas Rehan said that he had appealed to the Pakistan Bar Council against the Punjab Bar Council’s decision and claimed that he got the stay order and would contest the bar election. He alleged that his rivals were employing different tactics to keep him away from annual elections.
ARRESTED: The regional police on Friday claimed to have arrested 193 proclaimed offenders and 212 court fugitives during a general hold-up in six districts of the division.
Additional IG and regional police chief Malik Muhammad Iqbal said the police had also recovered seven Kalashnikovs, 16 rifles, 137 pistols, 36 revolvers, 27 guns, six carbines and 1,486 cartridges, besides 7kg hashish and 353 bottles of liquor from them.
He pledged that the drive against outlaws and desperados would continue throughout the region.
