of the High Court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The court observed that the petition was drafted in an extremely frivolous manner, failing to meet the standards required for legal drafting and judicial procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The lawyer&#8217;s conduct was not appropriate, neither during the preparation of the application nor during the court appearance, court remarked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Court noted that it had previously exercised restraint regarding similar conduct by the same lawyer in another case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The court observed that the petitioner has consistently demonstrated a frivolous attitude in the preparation of petitions and the presentation of arguments in his own personal cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The court noted that it had previously warned the petitioner to exercise caution in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Directions have been issued to send a copy of the judicial order to the Islamabad High Court Bar Association, the Islamabad Bar Council, and the District Bar Association.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PAK SOUCH MEDIA GROUP<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Daily Pak Souch Newspaper Sukkur \u2013 Daily Pak Special Newspaper Karachi \u2013 Daily Pak Today Newspaper Karachi &#8211;
