Imran Khan’s arrest warrant in Toshakhana Case challenged in IHC

Imran Khan’s arrest warrant in Toshakhana Case has been challenged in IHC!

The development comes on Tuesday as Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) challenged the order of a district and sessions court which upheld the non-bailable arrest warrant for PTI Chairman Imran Khan in the Islamabad High Court (IHC).

Imran Khan’s lawyer Advocate Ali Bokhari also requested the court to fix this case for the hearing today which was accepted.

The hearing is scheduled to take place at 2 pm.

The petition by the PTI lawyers maintained that the impugned orders are against the facts and law and passed by ignoring the settled proposition that each case has to be seen in its peculiar circumstances.

It also stated that due to the orders, the liberty of the petitioner has been prejudiced detrimentally.

“The Honourable Apex Court through multiple latest judgments have interpreted the law in favour of the accused person and adopted modern techniques as per the circumstances of the case and hence impugned orders are passed ignoring the modification in law,” the petition read.

“It is also a settled law that the superior courts being superior in the hierarchy of the adjudication are to be attended in priority and the same is legally and ethically followed by the petitioner,” it added.
