GUJRANWALA, Nov 30: At least six courts in the district are working at different places, causing a great deal of inconvenience to lawyers and their clients.

District Bar Association Senior Vice President Muhammad Jamil Rana, Vice President Tahir Ahmad Shah and senior lawyer Sheikh Eizad Masood say that the courts of additional sessions judges and civil judges have been set up in the compound of the newly constructed building of the district and sessions court on Sialkot Road.

They say that banking court No. 1 is running at Buildings Department’s residential colony and banking court No. 2 at Aroop Mor, about one kilometre from banking court No. 1 and two kilometres from the sessions court. Similarly, the labour court is working on Sialkot Road, anti-corruption and consumer courts on Deputy Commissioner Road and Wapda court in the Civil Lines area.

The lawyers say they and their clients cannot reach these scattered courts in time. They demand that all these courts should be shifted to an old building of the district courts where many rooms are lying vacant and lawyers’ chambers are also located nearby.
