Justice Farukh Irfan Khan of the Lahore High Court on Tuesday acting as administrative judge of the banking courts suggested that two banking courts at Faisalabad and one at Sialkot should be established to minimize heavy pendency of cases in these districts.

Justice Farukh Irfan was presiding over a meeting and suggested that proper renovation of banking courts should be made on urgent basis and vacant posts of ministerial staff should be filled immediately. The meeting noted that no official accommodation was being provided to the judges of banking courts and only nominal house rent was being given to them, therefore, minimum house rent of Rs. 50,000 should be sanctioned/granted, the meeting decided.
