SUJAWAL: The first-ever digital law library of the district was inaugurated by Advocate Supreme Court and head of Mangrio Foundation, Saleem Ahmed Mangrio, on Saturday at District and Sessions Court Sujawal.
The inauguration ceremony was attended by office bearers and members of District Bar Association Sujawal. Speakers at the ceremony termed it a substantial headway in the field of legal research.
Addressing the gathering, Secretary-General DBA Sujawal, Abdul Latif Khatti, expressed his gratitude to Advocate Saleem Mangrio and his team for taking commendable measures to promote legal education. He said that it was a revolutionary move in the history of Sujawal district, an otherwise remote area of Sindh.
The initiative, he said, would encourage young lawyers to explore new dimensions of law and undertake quality research work. Mr. Saleem Mangrio said that he and his team had played a vital role in launching digital law libraries in remote areas of Sindh to make legal research easy.
Rise in the standard of advocacy was only possible if all bar associations of the province would get equal facilities; he suggested and added that this step would pave the way for authentic and verified research in the field of law.
Former Vice President of DBA, Mr. Ayaz Ali Khowaja, highlighted the importance of book reading in the life of a lawyer and said that since young lawyers were much inclined towards technology, a digital library would help them work more effectively.
President of District Bar Association Sujawal, Advocate Liaquat Ali Jamari, during his speech said that his team had made the opening of the digital law library possible in Sujawal.
“We will take measures to make District Bar Association a hub of learning for young lawyers”; he vowed. It is pertinent to mention here that Sujawal was declared a separate district in 2013 but its courts were under the administrative control of sessions judge Thatta till 2023.
In March last year, it also got the status of a separate judicial district. Towards the end, traditional gift Ajrak was presented to all guests and contributors.
