The bar's representatives defended the allotment process and said all legal requirements were met in balloting. They claimed that some factions of lawyers intentionally politicised the balloting process.
The committee adjourned the proceedings and directed the LBA cabinet to submit complete record of the balloting process on January 10. The committee also asked district & sessions judge Lahore to ensure that no construction work was carried out on the allotted chambers. The PBC had already cancelled the allotment of the chambers. Several lawyers had alleged that the allotment of 280 chambers to lawyers was not transparent as all members of the LBA were not invited for the balloting. They alleged that the LBA conducted balloting secretly to accommodate their blue-eyed members.
