In the complaint alleging that Imran threatened a court, the arrest order for Imran has stayed till March 16.
The court orders the former prime minister to appear before it in order to be given a copy of the case.
Imran Khan, the leader of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), had a non-bailable arrest warrant against him in the matter of threatening a judge suspended on Tuesday by an Islamabad district and sessions court.
Further sessions The warrant was delayed until March 16 by Judge Faizan Gillani.
Imran’s attorney Naeem Panjotha and Intizar Panjotha contested the non-bailable warrants during the hearing, with Intizar arguing that the conditions set on Imran were admissible to bail. The judge then inquired as to whether prior arrest warrants with bail provisions had been issued. No arrest warrant with a bailable bond had been issued, according to Intizar.
The judge stated that he could not understand the paperwork, so the court ordered Imran’s attorneys to correct the materials they had submitted.
According to Intizar, Imran was the former prime minister and security was the duty of the government; however, the current administration has removed security.
The attorney responded that they could deliver the letter to the court when the judge asked if there was a document confirming that security had been lifted from Imran. The judge then gave Imran’s attorneys till Wednesday to provide the pertinent letters.
According to the current government’s attorney, the PTI chairman was also called to testify in the Toshakhana case. Imran’s election campaign had already started, the judge said, to which Naeem responded that Imran had appeared at the courthouse.
The PTI leader, according to the judge, showed up to the courthouse but did not show up in court. Imran was prepared to appear in court via video link, but there was little emphasis on “legal changes,” the PTI lawyer was asked about the party’s efforts in this area.
The court emphasised that copies of the case were given to the accused in their individual capacities and not to anybody else, and that Imran had to come before the court in order to be given a copy of it.
Considering that a plea for a video-link appearance before the Islamabad High Court was filed, Intizar asked the court to set a date for March 21. (IHC). In response, the judge suggested that perhaps the lawyer “should give the former premier two months” because he was aware of what would happen with the video-link request.
Imran’s solicitor responded that the former prime minister had personal obligations that prevented him from attending court tomorrow and asked the court to set a date for the following day.
The hearing was postponed to March 16 after the court gave notice to the parties.
