The Punjab Bar Council (PbBC) disciplinary committee on Wednesday restrained the lawyers representing both actor Momina Iqbal and PML-N MPA Saqib Chadhar from discussing their case in the media.
During proceedings on the complaints filed by the lawyers representing both parties against each other, the committee’s chairman, Abbas Ali Chadhar, remarked that a dispute between two private individuals had been turned into an issue of personal ego by the advocates.
Momina’s sister and counsel, Advocate Rimsha Iqbal and MPA Chadhar’s counsel, Mian Ali Ashfaq, personally appeared before the committee.
The committee chairman instructed both sides that no lawyer associated with the case should make statements to the media regarding the matter.
The committee also directed Mr Ashfaq to produce his Bar-at-Law degree.
