Mansehra bar chief to move PHC against removal

November 04, 2019

MANSEHRA: District Bar Association President Amir Khan Swati on Sunday announced to move the Peshawar High Court against his removal by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Bar Council. The differences between Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Bar Council and Amir Swati emerged when the latter didn't comply with an instruction from the council. The council secretary had asked Amir Swati to submit the association's income and expenditure details with it but he refused to do so and instead he called the order unlawful. A letter issued by KP Bar Council said that a decision to remove the president of the Mansehra Bar Association and empower vice-president to assume president's responsibilities was taken at the general body meeting.
