HYDERABAD, August 7, 2026: The Sindh Bar Council has suspended two lawyers for three months over an alleged incident involving two accused persons who were brought before a court and allegedly forced to apologise.
The Executive Committee of the Sindh Bar Council took notice of the alleged unprofessional conduct on court premises and suspended Advocate Talal Jumani and Shehzor Panwhar with immediate effect.
According to the council’s decision, the two lawyers have also been barred from entering the bar room and wearing lawyers’ uniforms during the three-month suspension.
The matter has been referred to the Disciplinary Committee for further proceedings. The committee will also consider additional disciplinary action, including the possible cancellation of their licences.
The Sindh Bar Council has separately issued a show-cause notice to senior Advocate Anila Jassani, directing her to submit an explanation within 15 days.
The council stressed that lawyers must uphold the dignity of the legal profession and maintain professional ethics at all times.
It further warned that disciplinary action would be taken against lawyers found involved in conduct that violates professional standards or brings the legal profession into disrepute.
