ISLAMABAD – The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) filed an appeal on Wednesday against the Islamabad High Court’s (IHC) ruling deeming Imran Khan’s arrest legal.
Imran Khan was detained unlawfully, according to the PTI, who demanded his immediate release.
Verdict
Tuesday night, the IHC deemed Imran Khan’s arrest to be “legal.”
By recognizing the NAB’s viewpoint, IHC Chief Justice Amir Farooq pronounced the reserved verdict.
In the matter of whether the arrest in the Al-Qadir Trust case earlier that day was valid or not, the IHC on Tuesday evening reserved judgement.
Imran Khan was taken into arrest by a group of rangers on the grounds of the court where he had appeared in two cases, and the CJ acted quickly to intervene. Imran Khan had previously been taken into prison by a National Accountability Bureau (NAB) team with the assistance of Rangers, which caused the IHC to take notice. Imran Khan did not react to the letters that were provided to him, according to the NAB, and his detention was “completely in line with law and as per NAB ordinance.”
Lt. Gen. Nazir Ahmed, the NAB Chairman, signed the warrant for Imran’s arrest. It stated that Section 9(a) of the National Accountability Ordinance, 1999 charged the PTI head of corruption and corrupt practices.
