QUETTA, Dec 28: Balochistan Bar Association President Mohammad Wasay Tareen has called upon the government to implement in letter and spirit the 1996 verdict of the Supreme Court regarding elevation of judges to the apex court.

Speaking to Panjgur Bar Association's representatives, he said the apex court judgment had determined the principle for promotion of judges and violation of the verdict affected the seniority of judges of the Balochistan High Court, says a press release issued here on Tuesday.

Mr Wasay urged the government to fill the three vacant posts of judges in the Supreme Court by promoting senior-most chief justices of high courts. He also demanded establishment of circuit benches of the BHC in Turbat, Khuzdar and Loralai for disposal of cases pending in the high court.
