LAHORE, Aug 1: Judicial work at subordinate courts remained suspended on Friday after the lawyers boycotted courts to protest against civil judge Sheharyar Bukhari’s death.

The strike call had a little impact on the Lahore High Court as most of its benches were closed due to summer vacation, starting on Friday.

Meanwhile, the Lahore High Court Bar Association held a condolence reference to mourn the death of the judge. It also adopted a resolution against the sending of troops to Iraq, and expressed apprehensions that the decision would create hatred against Pakistan among the Gulf states.
