The Islamabad High Court has ordered the government not to harass Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan during the Eid holidays.
\nIHC Chief Justice Aamer Farooq was hearing Imran Khan\u2019s petition seeking details of the cases registered against him as well as orders for the police not to arrest him.
\nThe government was issued a notice at the request of Imran Khan, and a response sought.
\nDuring the proceedings, Imran\u2019s lawyer Faisal Chaudhry commented that reports of talks between political parties is a good discussion, and today, the development may move in a positive direction.
\nImran Khan\u2019s request for keeping the petition pending till after Eid was also approved, and has been scheduled for re-hearing on April 27.
\nImran\u2019s counsel further said Jamaat-e-Islami Emir Sirajul Haq visited Zaman Park and made an encouraging effort to negotiate.
\nThe chief justice remarked that this incident apparently created a \u201cbad taste\u201d.
\nChaudhry further expressed fears that another operation against his client is on the cards during the Eid holidays.
\n\u201cI can request the details of the cases but how can I give a blank order?\u201d questioned Justice Farooq.
\nSubsequently, the IHC CJ ordered the government not to harass the ex-PM during the Eid holidays and issued notices to the federation, the police and the Federal Investigating Agency (FIA), seeking details of cases against Imran.
\nThe PTI chief’s request to delay the hearing of the case till after Eid was also accepted and the court adjourned the case till April 27.
\nEarlier this week, Imran had apprised the Lahore High Court (LHC) that he had \u201cconcrete information\u201d of another \u201cattack\u201d at his Zaman Park residence during the Eid holidays, requesting that the police officials be prevented from arresting him in order to avoid any bloodshed \u201cplanned\u201d by them.
