The demand has come in the wake of comments by former AG that his remarks before the SC bench was made in line with the views of the federal government and that the law minister Farogh Naseem was fully aware of them.
While responding Justice Qazi Faiz Isa's application against the reference, former AG had alleged that some judges were helping out the judge under trial.
In a scathing press release issued by the PBC, the lawyers alleged that Farogh Naseem was the "master mind of the conspiracy against the judiciary" given his "dubious past conduct" in filing of a reference against Justice Qazi Faez Isa, acting as former military dictator General (retd) Pervez Musharraf's lead counsel; and "his having all set to become counsel for the incumbent COAS in his case of extension in service".
