RECORDER REPORT

LAHORE: Lahore High Court Chief Justice Syed Mansoor Ali Shan Wednesday summoned the secretaries of prosecution and S&G departments on Thursday (today) in a petition of some female lawyers seeking their recruitment according to 15 percent quota.

The petitioners' counsel said that the provincial government refused to honour the awarding of 15 percent quota to female lawyers and challenged this quota before the Supreme Court. He asserted that the government's decision was based on mala fide intent and should be declared as illegal.

He therefore prayed the court to issue directions for recruitment of female prosecutors according to the quota.
