A woman lawyer was told to leave the courtroom of Islamabad High Court Chief Justice Athar Minallah for violating coronavirus SOPs. The woman wasn’t wearing a mask while she took the rostrum.
Justice Minallah stopped her from speaking. He said that no person will be allowed to take the rostrum if he/she is not wearing a mask.
She was allowed in after she wore a mask. The court has made it compulsory for everyone entering the court building to wear masks and get their temperatures checked.
on November 25, a lawyer had caused a brief panic in the Supreme Court after he revealed during a hearing at Courtroom No. 1 that he has contracted the coronavirus. “I have appeared in court even though I have coronavirus,” said Barrister Adnan Khan while speaking to a bench headed by Chief Justice Gulzar Ahmed.
