Punjab Bar Council election record
Role against National Judicial Policy
Khan had a prominent role against the National Judicial Policy in Pakistan. He rebuffed the Supreme Court's National Judicial Policy criticising it as an execution of justice and also ended up ceasing the licenses of counsels who supported it. According to him, the policy was not delivering justice to people but rather only accelerating the process for disposing of cases.
Boycott of policy
Khan reiterated several times that National Judicial Policy is a liquidation of Justice, due to which the Punjab Bar Council had announced the weekly strike in Punjab on every Saturday. In Jaranwala the lawyers arranged a lavish dinner in his honour at Committee Bagh. Speaking on the occasion he said: “We have apprehensions towards National Judicial Policy which is not proper for the lawyers, judges and the public.” He appealed to the Chief Justice of Pakistan to review this policy, saying that, "We respect and honour judiciary and we enjoy cordial relations with bench and bar." Khan further elaborated addressing a joint meeting of Lahore Bar Association and Lahore High Court Bar Association that "We are not against the speedy disposal of cases but we take issue against pointless dismissals in the name of judicial policy. The courts should impose a fine when lawyers are deliberately avoiding court appearances and delaying cases. But when a genuine adjournment is requested, it should be granted".
Suspension of licenses
Khan suspended the licenses of President, High Court Bar Association Rawalpindi, President, Rawalpindi District Bar Association and President of District and High Court Bar Association Multan for not observing strike according to the council's announcement against National Judicial Policy. In the rift, the executive of Rawalpindi District Bar Association (RDBA) announced strike against him. However RDBA Executive was criticized by lawyers of RDBA for going out of their limits.
