Barrister Aitzaz Hassan and some other leaders of Bar councils were accompanied with him.
The CJ has been stayed at Karachi Airport Lounge and the sources said that he has rejected the government offer to reach at Sindh High Court by an special plane as the violence had erupted in the city and exchange of firing between the activists of rival parties was reported at Shahra-e-Faisal and in Malir.
