The PBC said the right of appeal has also been given in the Suo Motu notice which was the demand of the Council.
The PBC said by scheduling the appeal for hearing within 14 days, the public and citizens will have access to justice.
The Council also paid thanks to the government for passing the Lawyers Protection and Welfare Bill 2023 as it was necessary for the lawyers' community.
