The hearing on the petition against the arrest of Chairman PTI Imran Khan has started in the Supreme Court of Pakistan.
A 3-member bench headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan Umar Ata Bandial is hearing the application.
Apart from Chief Justice Umar Ata Bandial, Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar and Justice Athar Minullah are also included in the bench.
Chief Justice of Pakistan Umar Ata Bandyal said that where has the sanctity of the court gone with the arrest from the court premises? According to the record, the case that was scheduled was probably someone else, the bail application was filed according to the court order but it was not scheduled, how many people of NAB arrested Imran Khan? When 90 people entered the premises of the court, what was the respect of the court? NAB has insulted the court, no one will consider himself safe in the future court, no one can be arrested by the High Court, Supreme Court or accountability court. How many people arrested Imran Khan?
Arguments of Khan’s counsel
At the beginning of the hearing, Imran Khan’s lawyer Hamid Khan gave arguments and said that Imran Khan had come to the Islamabad High Court for bail before his arrest. Khan was abused and Imran Khan was arrested.
Chief Justice Umar Ata Bandial inquired that Imran Khan appeared in the Islamabad High Court in which case?
Justice Athar Minullah asked if the application is filed before the biometric?
Imran Khan’s lawyer told the court that the application cannot be filed without biometrics, so Imran Khan went to get the biometrics done first.
On the other hand, another petition has been filed in the Supreme Court against the arrest of Chairman Tehreek-e-Insaf Imran Khan.
In the petition, it is requested to order the release of Imran Khan and an investigation into his arrest.
It has been requested in the petition that an order be given to ensure the safety of Imran Khan.
It has been argued by the petitioner that the arrest of the PTI leaders is abuse of power and political vendetta.
