Among those selected is the well-regarded young legal professional Malik Saif-ur-Rehman Jisra, who belongs to the village of Pilowance in District Khushab.
According to the notification issued by the FBR, the appointments were made on the recommendations of the Regional Interview Committee, Lahore. The lawyers nominated to the FBR panel are Barrister Shehzad Shahryar, Malik Saif-ur-Rehman Jisra, Mustafa Khalid, and Ms. Rabia Rashid.
The notification states that these lawyers have been selected on the basis of their professional competence, legal experience, and merit. They may be assigned responsibilities to represent and pursue cases on behalf of the FBR before various courts and legal forums.
The FBR further clarified that the appointment of panel lawyers, performance evaluations, de-notification, and other related matters will be carried out in accordance with the organization’s approved policies, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and official guidelines.
