Dec 25, 2022..

Islamabad: A Pakistani advocate, who has been convicted in a terror case, was able to get his licence from Sindh Bar Council (SBC) to practice the law, media reports said on Sunday.


As per Section 108-B(d) of The Pakistan Legal Practitioners and Bar Councils Rules, 1976, it is required for all law graduates to submit an affidavit disclosing any past conviction in any country, reports The Express Tribune.

The Pakistan Bar Council also prohibits any such person to be admitted as an advocate if he has been convicted for an offence involving moral turpitude by a court.

According to the document available with The Express Tribune, Syed Maaz Shah was convicted by a court in the United States and was awarded a sentence of six-and-a-half years in US Federal Prison.

The court had earlier found the advocate  guilty of possessing and firing a military-style weapon.

As per the FBI investigation transcription released by the US Department of Justice, Shah stated that it was his obligation to fight oppressive and corrupt governments such as the United States, the newspaper reported.
