GUJRAT, June 30: District and sessions judge Syed Ali Hasan Rizvi directed on Wednesday the crime range police to nominate DPO Raja Munawar Hussain, MPA Khalid Asghar Ghurral and 14 other PML lawyers and politicians in the supplementary FIR of the bar attack case.

He also directed the crime range SP to conduct an impartial investigation into the case. Civil Lines police had registered a case by inserting 11 sections in the FIR against 20 lawyers on Monday night on the complaint of Fakhar Nisar advocate.

The accused lawyers are: bar president Tariq Javed, bar acting president Usman Warraich, bar acting secretary-general Asghar Shaheen, Muhammad Tufail Hanjra, Habib Alam Naqvi, Shamshad Malhi, Attaur Rahman Qadri, Akhtar Javed, Mian Nasir, Gulraiz Warraich, Mirza Tahir, Tanvir Hasan, Rizwan Rathore, Asghar Ranjha, Sabir Cheema, Aslam Langay, Iqbal Behalpur, Khawar, Khurram Sadiq and Ali Ayub Shah.

On the other hand, acting secretary-general Asghar Shaheen alleged in a written application to the Civil Lines police on Tuesday that lawyers and bar room came under attack by PML activists at the behest of the DPO and some PML leaders.

However, the Civil Lines police did not entertain his application. Upon this, he filed a writ application in the court of the district and sessions judge the same day.

In his petition, he alleged that lawyers were present at a meeting in the bar room convened to take a disciplinary action against those 27 lawyers who had called off strike against the DPO and started attending courts.

To fail the bar meeting, he alleged that DPO Raja Munawar Hussain, MPA Khalid Asghar Ghurral, former MC chairman Chaudhry Tufail, Nazims Rana Maqsood and Javed Akhtar Colowal and other PML activists and lawyers made provocative speeches before protesters gathered outside the Zahoor Elahi Stadium.

In his speech, the DPO asked the protesters to attack lawyers present in the bar room and beat them up if they put up resistance, he alleged. At this, over 500 people attacked the bar room and thrashed lawyers.

Advocates Iqbal Behalpur, Khalid Shah, Shahzad Aslam, Tajamul Shah, Munir Bajwa and Habib Alam Naqvi sustained critical injuries. He further alleged that the attackers had also ransacked the bar furniture, the loudspeaker and the sound system worth Rs100,000.
