[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text dp_text_size=”size-4″]While hearing Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan’s request for details on the cases filed against him, the Islamabad High Court (IHC) Monday sought the record of all cases registered in Islamabad and also issued notices to the respondents, asking them to submit responses by March 27 next, according to reports.
“Since my admission into the judicial complex was barred, I came to you. “There is no other location in Islamabad except this court,” Imran Khan’s lawyer, Faisal Chaudhry, told IHC Chief Judge Aamer Farooq.
“On Saturday, nothing productive happened either. “What difference does it make if I make a mistake and you do too?” asked the IHC chief justice.
“We have no other place except the courts. 47 cases have been filed against Imran Khan in Islamabad. Police have kept some FIRs confidential,” he added.
“Perhaps you do not know that the FIR is not sealed. The court should seek the details of all the cases registered within Islamabad,” Faisal Chaudhry pleaded.
“I issue notice up to the boundaries of my jurisdiction. Have you read the judgement of Azam Swati case? There is no law that the case registration against a person should be told,” the IHC chief justice remarked.
