PESHAWAR, (Report by Wisal Ahmed) :According to global Times Media Europe, Female lawyer Atya Tehreem Advocate said that Mostly people loose connection with their ancestors and rarely go down a family tree to unearth the stories of their past. Her family has only inherited memories of her illustrious grandfather Z.Mahfooz khan who was the most competent and established lawyers of his times and a luminary in the legal profession since 1952. He was student of first batch of the Khyber Law College, Peshawar, and she feels privileged to be graduate of the same Law College in 2020. After that her father Nasir Mahfooz also chooses this line of the profession and initially joined judiciary in 1986 as a Civil Judge in the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (then N.W. F. P). When her grandfather met a sudden death in road accident in 1992 her father bade farewell to Judicial assignment and started practicing as a lawyer. As a lawyer throughout his life he remained dedicated to his profession without affiliation to any political party but played active part in bar activities for the betterment of legal profession. He adopted this profession by choice from the year 1993 till his elevation as a Judge of the Peshawar High Court. He dedicated his entire life to dispensation of justice and continued his legacy by upholding Honesty, Integrity and adopting the hardworking nature of his late father.
Coming from such a family background whose profession was law, who worked for the betterment of its people, she also thought to join this field to serve her people. Pursing this field Ms Atya recently got her High Court Licence in 2023 and has been appointed as a state counsel. Being a 3rd generation lawyer in her family she is doing criminal cases which includes narcotics (bails and appeals), fraud, counterfeit currency, cases of murder etc. Uptill now she has appeared in more than 10 cases from the prosecution side. In future she would like to do cases on civil side and other matters too. She thinks because of these hardened and desperate criminals our society is suffering and is not thriving, so their cases needs to be tackled seriously. She is also a member of standing panel of legal counsels of the University of Engineering and Technology (UET) Peshawar. She represents the university on case to case basis. Previously she has also attended women Peace and Security an online course of 3 months which comprised of people from Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and Srilanka. She was the only and youngest member among that. In future she works for the global peace as well. She also visited London to attend the Bar Council Pupillage Fair in Oct 2022. Along with that she went to the Royal Courts of Justice, Inner London Crown Court to see how the court proceedings are held over there to instill some positive points in our system and to see how lawyers over there are at the forefront throughout the world. In toto in her view to have a good reputation in every field of life is valuable asset of a person.
