Petitioner: Khuram Saleem VS Respondent: Chairman Punjab Bar Council etc
Court Name: Lahore High Court Judge(s): Ayesha A. Malik Title: Khuram Saleem vs Chairman Punjab Bar Council etc Case No.: W.P. No. 28255 of 2020 Date of Judgment:2020-06-23 Reported As: PLJ 2020 Lahore 466 Result: Petition dismissed
Judgment ORDER Through this petition, the Petitioner has impugned the condition provided at Sr. No. 3 of Note in the Intimation Form of Punjab Bar Council, Lahore whereb y a person is not eligible to apply for enrolment if he/she is in any government/semi government/private service or business. 2. The Petitioner in person states that this is against his fundamental rights. However , at the very outset, it is noted that no right is absolute and reasonable restrictions may be imposed. The Petitioner admittedly was appointed as Traffic Warden in City Traffic Police, Lahore but was dismissed from service on 23.08.2019 and is now desirous of enrolment as an Advocate and at the same time he is also pursuing his appeal against dismissal from service, which violates the requirements given in the Intimation Form. Therefore, the Petitioner is not only desirous of getting his old job of Traffic Warden but also at the same time desirous of enrolment as an Advocate. The impugned condition merely sets out the requirement for enrolment as an Advocate and does not infringe on any fundamental right of the Petitioner . 3. Under the circumstances, no case for interference is made out. Petition stands dismissed in limine .
