Lawyers will boycott courts across Punjab tomorrow (Friday) in protest against the increase in court fees.
The Punjab Bar Council (PBC) gave the call for a strike as the government increased the court fee from Rs2 to Rs500.
The council office-bearers said: “We strongly condemn the Rs500 court fee decision.
“Increasing the fee through amendments will add to the inflation-hit public problems.”
They demanded the government withdraw the fee hike decision.
