The Sindh Bar Council has directed lawyers across the province to remove unauthorized monograms and insignia from their vehicles within 15 days, warning of disciplinary action in case of non-compliance..
In a circular issued on April 3, the council said it had received complaints from the Sindh Police regarding the widespread use of monograms bearing titles such as “Advocate,” “High Court of Sindh,” and “Sindh Bar Council” on vehicles.
The council stated that the use of such insignia is not permitted under the Legal Practitioners and Bar Councils Act, 1973, and the Sindh Legal Practitioners and Bar Council Rules, 2017.
It instructed all advocates in Sindh to immediately remove these monograms, metal plates, and insignia from their cars, motorcycles, and other modes of transport within the given timeframe.
The circular warned that vehicles displaying such unauthorized markings will be identified within court premises, and disciplinary proceedings will be initiated under the relevant rules.
The council also noted that some lawyers have been printing the Sindh Bar Council insignia on their visiting cards, which it termed a violation of professional conduct.
It said the Privilege and Vigilance Committee has been authorized to collect information after the deadline and refer cases to the Disciplinary Committee. However, the circular clarified that only elected members of the Sindh Bar Council are permitted to use official insignia or monograms on their vehicles and visiting cards in accordance with the rules.
