Lawyers and judges of lower courts across the nation have been allowed to wear more comfortable and lighter attire during court proceedings as the heat wave is sweeping across the country. 

The move comes following a meeting of Supreme Court (SC) senior judges with Chief Justice (CJ) Hasan Foez Siddique on Saturday (13 May), 

From now on, only white shirts and black pants will be considered appropriate for court appearances while the traditional black coats and gowns are no longer mandatory, according to an official directive issued in this regard.
