fraternity in Lawyers’ Movement in which they stood firm during the
judicial crises and struggled hard to bring rule of law in the society
through peaceful efforts.

society because it was the struggle for the principles, adding that the
Faisalabad Bar along with other legal fraternity from all over the
country, struggled constantly during the days of movement, to bring Rule

judicial history of our country as well as other countries of the world
