Sanghar (Hasnain Ashiq Saand) Chief Justice of the Sindh High Court, Justice Muhammad Junaid Ghaffar, on Monday inaugurated the newly constructed Judicial Complex/S Civil Court Sanghar, comprising six court buildings.

The inauguration ceremony was attended by Justice Faisal Agha, Sindh High Court Registrar Suhail Ahmed Laghari, District and Sessions Judge Sanghar Akhtar Anwar Khokhar, Deputy Commissioner Sarah Javed, SSP Sanghar Abid Ali Baloch, Sindh Bar Council member Nand Kumar Goklani, Sher Muhammad Wassan, President Sanghar Bar Muhammad Sharif Misrani, General Secretary Ashraf Rehmani, Information Secretary Qazafi Tanoli, office-bearers of taluka bar associations, former Mirpurkhas Bar president Advocate Shaukat Ali Rahmoon, a large number of lawyers, and officers of various departments.

He announced the establishment of an e-library in Sanghar to facilitate lawyers and assist in resolving public issues. He further stated that efforts would be made to set up camp offices of the Labour Court, Anti-Encroachment Tribunal, and Banking Court in Sanghar, though the creation of new courts lay within the purview of the government.
