The IHC has sought details of all the cases filed in Islamabad.
IHC Chief Justice Aamer Farooq heard the case. The PTI chief’s counsel Faisal Chaudhry said number of cases against the former prime minister in Islamabad had climbed to 47. However, police had kept some hidden FIRs, he maintained.
The chief justice said he might not know but an FIR was not sealed. “FIR is a public document and it cannot be sealed. Police calls for investigation,” he maintained.
The lawyer asked him to give order for details up to Islamabad limits. To which he replied, he would issue notice up to his jurisdiction.
The IHC CJ asked the advocate if he had read judgment of PTI leader Azam Swati’s case as there was no law which could tell if there was a case against a person or not. “There are cases against Azam Swati also all over the country.”
Faisal Chaudhry said they would adopt a legal way, if they were apprised about it.
The court has adjourned the hearing till March 27, issuing notices to the stakeholders.
On March 19, Khan had announced to stage a power show at Minar e Pakistan on March 22.
Former prime minister Imran Khan while addressing the nation had said PTI would stage a power show at Minar-e-Pakistan and it will be a referendum on where the nation stands and where the gang of thieves and their handlers stand.
PTI Chairman Imran Khan had said the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) government wanted to arrest him and shift him to Balochistan.
He had said the coalition government wanted to keep him arrested in dozens of cases already lodged against him. He had said Zaman Park was besieged by law enforcers as if it was a castle.
He had asked what exactly his crime was, saying that the entire nation knew that he always respected the law. He had said that 96 cases had been registered against him.
