Why post crap and then run. You claimed that violence was used against Noora, so tell us if there have been injuries and deaths. Do you lie as 2nd nature?

Violence was used. Throwing things at someone minding their own business is a form of violence. Just because someone isn’t physically hurt to the point that they have to be taken to a hospital doesn’t mean that they were not assaulted.

If it were up to those who were doing this, I’m pretty sure they would want to send her or her party members to hospital with their hatred for them.,

Oh well, doesn’t change the sad reality for them. A lifetime wasted over a person who did not come through as they would have hoped. I can understand the frustration

Pakistan's jailed ex-PM Imran Khan faces charges over state secrets - source.

Pakistani authorities have opened a criminal investigation against jailed former prime minister Imran Khan on charges of leaking state secrets, after naming him and three aides in a fresh case, a top security source said on Monday.

The matter, currently under investigation, pertains to a classified cable sent to Islamabad by Pakistan's ambassador in Washington early last year, which Khan is alleged to have made public.

The 70-year-old former cricketer has accused that the cable was part of a U.S. conspiracy to push the Pakistani military to oust him in a parliamentary vote of no confidence in 2022 because he had visited Moscow ahead of Russia's attack on Ukraine.

Both Washington and the military deny this.

Khan is currently serving a three-year sentence in a graft case and has been barred from politics for five years.

The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Tuesday adjourned the appeal filed by former premier Imran Khan — currently incarcerated in Attock Jail — against his conviction and sentence in the Toshakhana case till Thursday.

Today, the IHC also took up the plea seeking “better class/A-Class” jail facilities for Imran while also urging that his detention in Attock Jail be declared “illegal” and for the ex-premier to be shifted to Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi.

Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Umar Ata Bandial on Wednesday observed that prima facie there were “mistakes” present in a trial court’s verdict convicting former prime minister Imran Khan in the Toshakhana case.

On August 5, a trial court in Islamabad found the PTI chief guilty of “corrupt practices” in a case pertaining to concealing details of state gifts and sentenced him to three years in prison. The verdict also means that he stood disqualified from contesting general elections for five years.

Subsequently, Imran approached the IHC against his conviction and sentence. A day earlier, the high court adjourned the case till tomorrow (Aug 24).

A three-member SC bench, comprising CJP Bandial, Justice Mazahar Ali Akbar Naqvi and Justice Jamal Khan Mandokhail, took up a petition filed by Imran today challenging the IHC’s order of remanding the Toshakhana case to Additional Sessions Judge (ASJ) Humayun Dilawar who convicted the former prime minister.


During the hearing, the top court heard arguments by PTI lawyer Latif Khosa and Election Commission of Pakistan’s (ECP) counsel Amjad Pervaiz.

After hearing both sides, the CJP said, “We will not interfere in the Toshakhana case today … we will look at the IHC hearing tomorrow and then resume the proceedings.”

However, the top judge observed: “Prima facie, there are mistakes in the trial court verdict.”

The hearing​

At the outset of the hearing, Imran’s lawyer Latif Khosa said the PTI chief had filed three petitions against IHC orders in the apex court.

He recalled that Imran was elected as a member of the National Assembly from Mianwali during the 2018 elections. “The Election Act tells every member of the NA to submit details of their assets,” the lawyer said, adding that six MNAs had submitted a reference to the speaker seeking the PTI chief’s disqualification.

The MNAs, Khosa continued, had accused Imran of submitting an incorrect declaration of his assets. The speaker had then sent the reference to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) under Section 137 of the Election Act.

Here, Justice Naqvi asked the lawyer to read out the said section of the act, which pertains to the submission of a statement of assets and liabilities.

Continuing his arguments, Khosa contended that the ECP could only conduct an inquiry within 120 days.

“Can one member [of the NA] send a reference against another member?” Justice Naqvi asked, to which the lawyer replied that no one could send a reference and the ECP too could only conduct an inquiry within a fixed time.

“Action can be taken within 120 days after the submission of financial statements,” he highlighted, adding that only the NA speaker could send a reference to the ECP, not a member.

The reference against the PTI chief, Khosa continued, was sent after 120 days.

At that, Justice Mandokhel interjected that the petitioner’s case was against the IHC order and not the legality of the reference against Imran.

“Who can be remanded now that the trial court case is over?” the judge asked. “How will this case impact the main appeal against the conviction?”

In his response, Khosa said the court would have to “rewind the hands of the clock back to the previous position”.

However, the CJP remarked, “A building constructed on faulty foundation cannot be demolished every time.” He also asked if the petitioner’s argument was that the ECP’s complaint in the trial court — filed on Oct 21 — was not maintainable.

“Our stance is that the Toshakhana complaint should have first been sent to the magistrate,” Khosa pointed out.

“According to you, the magistrate conducts the initial inquiry and then the sessions court holds the trial,” the chief justice asked.

At this, Justice Mandokhel explained that the law states a magistrate would review the complaint and then send it to the sessions court. “In the law, what does the magistrate reviewing [the complaint] mean?” he asked.

For his part, Khosa said the magistrate would decide if the complaint was eligible or not.

Here, the CJP inquired who could register a complaint under the Elections Act, to which the PTI lawyer replied that the complaint could be filed by the ECP.

Khosa further lamented that the ECP secretary had asked the electoral body’s district commissioner to file the complaint against Imran.

“So you are saying that the secretary should not have been called the ECP,” the CJP said. “The sessions court should have rejected the complaint,” the top judge added.

Meanwhile, Justice Mandokhel opined that the matter could be solved during the IHC hearing on Imran’s petition against his conviction. He also asked: “What was the hurry to give the [sessions court] verdict?”

Subsequently, the CJP asked the PTI lawyer if the petitioner would raise these questions in the high court or if he wanted the SC to highlight them for the IHC.

Khosa replied that Imran’s conviction was announced by a court that did not have the jurisdiction to do so. “This matter can also be raised during the hearing of the appeal in the IHC,” the CJP noted.

At one point, when Khosa raised an objection over the IHC CJ, Justice Bandial asked him to raise an objection to verdicts and not the courts. “Criticism should only be restricted to the decisions … this is the way institutions work.”

He further maintained that no one could be accused of biasedness, asserting that the court would defend all the judges.

The court then called the ECP lawyer to the rostrum. Beginning his arguments, Pervaiz said the trial court had reserved its verdict on all objections raised by the PTI chief.

He also said that Imran had been provided all the chances to defend himself during the case proceedings.

At this, Justice Bandial asked: “Can you see the PTI chairman here? I can’t see the suspect anywhere … is the suspect here in court or is he behind bars?”

“Don’t joke like that,” an irked CJP said. “What opportunities were given to the PTI chief? The trial court, after calling the case thrice, convicted the suspect and sent him to jail … the PTI chairman was not even heard.”

Later, the top judge remarked that as a court of law, the SC didn’t want the case to be sent from one court to the other and decided to wait for the IHC hearing tomorrow. The case was subsequently adjourned till 1pm, Thursday.

The Supreme Court (SC) reiterated its decision on Thursday to halt proceedings on a plea challenging the remand of the Toshakhana case to Additional Sessions Judge (ASJ) Humayun Dilawar — who convicted PTI chief Imran Khan in the case — until the Islamabad High Court’s (IHC) decision on another petition seeking the suspension of the former premier’s sentence.

On August 5, a trial court in Islamabad had convicted the PTI chief for “corrupt practices” in the case pertaining to concealing details of state gifts and sentenced him to three years in prison. The verdict means that he stands disqualified from contesting general elections for five years.

Imran had subsequently approached the IHC against his conviction. He had also approached the apex court against the IHC’s decision to remand the case back to the trial court judge who had convicted him.

A three-member SC bench, comprising Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Umar Ata Bandial, Justice Mazahar Ali Akbar Naqvi and Justice Jamal Khan Mandokhail, had taken up the plea, with the CJP observing: “Prima facie, the decision by the additional sessions judge contains defects, but we will not intervene at this stage; rather wait for the outcome of the high court decision.”

The petitioner was behind bars since August 5 and his plea seeking suspension of the sentence was pending before the high court, therefore, “out of respect to the high court, we will wait for the decision in the matter”, the CJP said while dictating the order.

The IHC, which resumed hearing the plea for the suspension of Imran’s sentence earlier today, has adjourned the hearing until 11am on Friday (tomorrow).

The IHC and the SC were hearing the pleas submitted to them simultaneously today, with Latif Khosa appearing as Imran’s counsel before the top court.

During the hearing, the CJP observed that the IHC hearing was still under way.

“The high court is finding a solution in the matter. This is the beauty of our system.

“Let the high court’s decision come. We will hear the plea [filed in the SC] after that,” he said and adjourned the hearing until the IHC’s decision.

The SC also sought a report on the facilities being provided to Imran in jail.

During the hearing, Khosa complained about a policeman’s presence during one of his meetings with Imran in jail, at which the CJP asked him “not to say anything that is not on record”.

PBC takes issue with SC seeing ‘defects’ in Imran’s conviction
Earlier today, the Pakistan Bar Council (PBC) took issue with the apex court’s acknowledgement of “procedural defects” in the Aug 5 conviction of PTI Chairman Imran Khan, saying that there should be no “interference” in matters pending before the subordinate judiciary.

In its order issued after yesterday’s hearing, the SC noted that the trial court called the respondents (Imran Khan side) a number of times. Since neither the petitioner nor any of his authorised representatives were available, the trial court chose to commence hearing ex parte and awarded a three-year sentence to Imran.

The Sc observed that while recording his statement before the trial court under Section 342 of CrPC, Imran had expressed his intention of producing a defence witness, but the trial court on Aug 2 turned down the request, saying the witness was not relevant to the controversy.

The SC regretted that the trial court through its judgement had defied the IHC’s directions that it must first determine the question of jurisdiction as well as the maintainability of the case.

Commenting on the matter today, PBC Executive Committee Chairman Hassan Raza Pasha said that the main appeal against Imran’s conviction was not fixed before the SC.

“But yesterday’s remarks by the SC which we saw and heard, it seemed as if the whole appeal was decided, and we saw criminal jurisprudence changing,” he said.

“It seems as if there is no trust left in the honourable high court judges. They are also equally honourable and respectable judges, and are passing verdicts according to their conscience … it amounts to interference in the smooth functioning of the high court, appellate court,” Pasha said.

“What decision will the high court make?” he asked. He noted that the lawyers of a certain political party, an apparent reference to the PTI, were saying that the SC’s observations had amounted to an acquittal.

“So will it be inferred that he was acquitted due to the SC’s pressure? And if they don’t, which high court or subordinate judiciary can make a decision either way in light of these observations?” he asked.

He said that the PBC respected the SC and they did not want the court’s esteem to suffer. “There should be no interference in matters pending in the high court,” he said, adding that any interference was unfair to the other party in the case.

“We have seen that in other cases an order is issued, that we expect from the high court to decide the case in such and such manner … Yesterday, we felt that directions were given which should not happen. We, once again, say that no one should be prejudiced,” he said.

He noted that in the past the courts were called “Sharif courts”. “We don’t want the public and lawyers to call the courts by another name,” he said.

Pasha said that the judiciary should be apolitical and should function within the parameters of the law.

Responding to a question from a reporter, Pasha said that the PBC — which he termed the “highest statutory body of lawyers” — wanted the apex court’s respect and honour to remain intact.

“We think that we are also custodians of the Constitution. We talk about the Constitution so we want all matters to operate according to it,” he said.

Meanwhile, PBC Vice Chairman Haroonur Rashid said that the PTI chief had filed an appeal against his conviction in the Toshakhana case, which was still pending before the IHC.

“In that appeal, it has to be seen whether the conviction is right or wrong. That is the high court’s domain, and the SC’s observations from yesterday directly influence lower courts and high courts.”

He noted that high courts and lower courts were subordinate courts. He further said that if the two now issued a verdict according to what they deemed fit, it would seem as if they didn’t consider the apex court’s observation.

“So to give such an observation is not right, legally or ethically. Because neither an appeal nor a bail (plea) was pending before the honourable SC. The appeal and the plea will be decided by the high court.”

Rashid noted that the observations made by the SC yesterday were plastered all over the newspapers. He said that the SC had “assumed” it was hearing the appeal against the conviction.

“There is no matter pending before the honourable SC,” he said, as he also highlighted the council’s objections to SC benches. “We have said this before also that these benches are favouring a party,” he said.

Former prime minister Imran Khan’s wife Bushra Bibi on Friday urged the Supreme Court to take “serious notice” of the alleged threat to her husband’s life during his incarceration, citing a considerable decline in his health during a meeting with him in Attock jail.

She made the request in an affidavit submitted to the Supreme Court through her representative Advocate Syed Rifaqat Hussain Shah today, which recounted her meeting with her husband on August 22.

It comes after similar concerns were raised by her in a letter to the Punjab government last week, in which she voiced fears that her husband could be “poisoned” in Attock jail.

IHC adjourns Toshakhana hearing as ECP lawyer a no show.

High court postpones hearing until August 28 amid PTI lawyers' protest.

Amid strong protests from the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) lawyers, the Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Friday postponed hearing PTI chief Imran Khan's plea against the Toshakhana verdict as the lawyer representing the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) failed to appear before the court.

Today, the IHC division bench led by Chief Justice Aamer Farooq and comprising Justice Tariq Mahmood Jahangiri resumed hearing Imran Khan’s plea.

However, the ECP's lawyer Advocate Amjad Pervaiz failed to appear before the court. "He is not available today as he is unwell," his assistant lawyer told the court.

"It was a matter of bail," CJ Farooq observed, "arguments would not have taken much time". However, the junior lawyer informed the court that Pervaiz had been advised to remain on bed rest for two days by his doctors and requested the court to postpone the proceedings.

"A person has been behind bars for the past 20 days," Imran's counsel Latif Khosa protested as he suggested the junior lawyer could present the ECP's case.

"Your junior judge has sanctioned someone to jail and they are not giving their arguments, then can't you suspend the punishment?" Khosa pleaded the court.

CJ Farooq replied saying, "We are here to hear this case. We could also repeat what the trial court did. [But] it is our job to run the system. We will view the trial court proceedings from an administrative standpoint. We are scheduling [the hearing] for Monday."

"Then we will not appear," said Khosa recording a strong protest against the court.

"If you fail to appear then we will decide the matter on the basis of the record available," responded CJ Farooq, "Two wrongs don't make a right. We will not do what the trial court did."

Upon this, Khosa walked out of the courtroom while the court issued orders to resume hearing the case on August 28 (Monday).

The courtroom's decorum was disrupted by sloganeering on the part of lawyers that favoured the PTI shouting "shame" and denouncing "match fixing".

Looks like the courts will save Imran Khan. What a travesty! You cannot keep hiding from your punishment for too long Khan saab

save from who or whom?
save from over 80% support he has in Pakistan?

I guess neither you are using your cerebral nor displaying honest and true patriotisms when you put out such comments.

Your understanding of this point depends on how well you understand the current crisis created by Establishment but the above comments of yours show that you may not be able to comprehend it but, it is the Establishment that needs NRO not Khan, Khan is just not giving it to them by leaving Pakistan.

The PTI’s jailed chairman, Imran Khan, has filed nine separate petitions in the Islamabad High Court (IHC), challenging the dismissal of his pre-arrest bail pleas across various cases, a result of his inability to appear in the respective courts.

Deposed former Prime Minister Imran Khan, who is entangled in approximately 180 cases including those filed under the country's anti-terrorism law, found himself sentenced to three years in prison on August 5.

Imprisoned and thus unable to attend the courts where he had originally submitted his pre-arrest bail applications, the PTI chairman encountered subsequent dismissals of these applications due to his absence.

The applications, presented through legal representative Salman Safdar advocate, name the state and complainants as respondents.

Several PTI workers held for holding solidarity rally with Imran Khan

KARACHI: Dozens of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) supporters were arrested after the police restored to baton-charge to disperse their bike rally in the port city on Sunday.

According to details, more than 100 PTI supporters — from different parts of the port city — reached the Nursery bus stop on Sharae Faisal while participating in a bike rally held to express solidarity with their incarcerated leader Imran Khan.

At the Nursery bus stop, the police took several PTI supporters into custody for staging the bike rally.

On the other hand, a number of PTI workers, including women, gathered in the metropolitan city’s Numaish Chowrangi to show their solidarity with the deposed premier. In a bid to disperse the rally, the police baton charged the PTI activists. Subsequently, several supporters of the former ruling party were taken into custody by the law enforcers.

According to the police, six PTI supporters were arrested from Awami Markaz and 10 from Shah Latif Town. “The PTI workers were heading towards Insaf House from Quaidabad,” the police added.

Condemning the police action against the PTI’s supporters, the party’s Karachi chapter president Khurram Sher Zaman said, “Peaceful protest is everyone’s right in a democratic system." He added that several PTI workers were arrested during the city-wide crackdown against the party.

The Islamabad High Court (IHC) said it will decide on former prime minister Imran Khan's plea against the Toshakhana verdict today as a divisional bench headed by IHC Chief Justice Amir Farooq resumed hearing on Monday.

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairperson and deposed premier Imran, who is currently incarcerated in Attock jail, has challenged the three-year prison term handed to him on August 5, 2023, by an Islamabad district court in the gifts repository case.

The trial court's verdict in effect bars the PTI chief from contesting the general elections for five years.

 

[WicketLord]

The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Monday said it would announce tomorrow at 11am its reserved verdict on PTI Chairman Imran Khan’s plea seeking the suspension of a three-year jail term sentenced to the ex-premier in the Toshakhana case.

The court reserved its verdict today on the PTI chief’s plea after the Election Commission of Pakistan’s (ECP) counsel concluded his arguments.

On August 5, a trial court in Islamabad had convicted the PTI chief in the case filed by the ECP that involved concealing details of state gifts and jailed him for three years. The verdict meant he was disqualified from contesting general elections for five years.

While the Islamabad High Court on Monday reserved its decision on PTI Chairman Imran Khan’s petition seeking the suspension of prison term he was awarded in the Toshakhana case, the Attock jail authorities in a separate development submitted a report in the Supreme Court, detailing the facilities being provided to the ex-prime minister.

The judgement is expected to be announced on Tuesday (today) as the IHC division bench comprising Chief Justice Aamer Farooq and Justice Tariq Mehmood Jahangiri concluded the proceedings.

According to the report submitted to the Supreme Court, Mr Khan’s diet included desi chicken twice a week and mutton cooked in desi ghee once a week. The convict has been provided with mattress, four pillows, table, chair, prayer mat and air cooler, a 21-inch LED TV in addition to newspapers.

However, the federal government rejected the idea of convening six days a week meetings of Mr Khan since it may jeopardise the rights of 982 other prisoners.

Legal snags hit PTI chief’s release prospects.

ISLAMABAD:
The prospect of PTI Chairman Imran Khan's immediate release from Attock Jail, should his sentence in the Toshakhana (gift repository) reference be suspended, appears to be increasingly unlikely.

Imran Khan, the former premier, is now embroiled in a more intricate legal situation due to his involvement in the "cypher" case, an official classified document, and an audio leaks case, all falling under the purview of the Official Secrets Act.

The predicament dictates that Imran Khan must seek bails in both these cases through legal proceedings within the court system. This development complicates his situation further.

[WicketLord]

The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Tuesday suspended PTI Chairman Imran Khan’s three-year sentence in the Toshakhana case.

However, a special court recently established to hear cases under the Official Secrets Act has directed the Attock Jail authorities — where the former premier is incarcerated — to keep Imran in “judicial lockup” and produce him on Aug 30 (tomorrow) in connection with the cipher case.

In a letter addressed to the Attock jail superintendent, a copy of which is available with Dawn.com, Special Court Judge Abual Hasnat Muhammad Zulqarnain said: “That accused Imran Khan Niazi s/o Ikramullah Khan Niazi r/o Zaman Park, Lahore is hereby ordered for judicial remand in case FIR mentioned above, who is already detained in district jail, Attock.”

Pakistan's jailed ex-PM Imran Khan faces charges over state secrets - source.

Pakistani authorities have opened a criminal investigation against jailed former prime minister Imran Khan on charges of leaking state secrets, after naming him and three aides in a fresh case, a top security source said on Monday.

The matter, currently under investigation, pertains to a classified cable sent to Islamabad by Pakistan's ambassador in Washington early last year, which Khan is alleged to have made public.

The 70-year-old former cricketer has accused that the cable was part of a U.S. conspiracy to push the Pakistani military to oust him in a parliamentary vote of no confidence in 2022 because he had visited Moscow ahead of Russia's attack on Ukraine.

Both Washington and the military deny this.

Khan is currently serving a three-year sentence in a graft case and has been barred from politics for five years.

It doesn't prove that they hatched a conspiracy. The VONC motion was in place well before this cypher. And even IK didn't talk about the cypher until the very end to try and exploit the anti US sentiment in Pakistan in order to save his seat (as his leaked recording showed). He later couldn't make up his mind as to whether the conspiracy was imported or exported. Diplomatic communications are state secrets and therefore always subject to being hidden from the public view. This whole "conspiracy" narrative is clutching at straws in my view.

There is no evidence. Just conjecture and analysis at this stage. Any journalist who is pro IK will be reputable for you guys by default.

There are a number of questions to ask and points to consider here:

1) Why was the PTI govt sitting on the cipher for 20 days before doing anything about it?

2) Why did IK change his story from “imported conspiracy” to “exported conspiracy”? Why should Bajwa need to convince the US that IK is bad for them? Are the US stupid that they need Bajwa to explain to them that IK is bad for them?

3) IK saying “is pe khelna hai abh” regarding the cypher suggests a concocted narrative.

4) Why is IK willing to let this be a bygone with the US as he said in an interview?

Frankly IK is a master narrative crafter with God gifted eloquence. No wonder everyone falls for it.

In swift response to the Islamabad High Court's (IHC) suspension of PTI chief Imran Khan's sentence in the Toshakhana case, his political rivals wasted no time expressing their disapproval. They criticized the decision as biased and regretted its potential impact on the nation's history.

The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) voiced dissatisfaction with the verdict, suggesting that Imran Khan's sentence had been suspended, not overturned. Party president Shehbaz Sharif drew attention to the contrasting treatment of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, who had a monitoring judge overseeing his punishment. Shehbaz criticized the chief justice's role as a monitoring judge, implying favoritism.

Conjecture? If the rest of your comments supporting your opinion it being conjecture then either you do not understand the meaning of conjecture or you are simply displaying intellectual dishonesty.

It seem you are more upset about the timing of PTI reveal the cypher than the content of the cypher. I guess it would have been acceptable the likes of yours if had been revealed the second PTI had received. - this neither prove any of your argument against it nor it invalidate the content of the cypher.

Did you really ask why did Bajwa need to convince the US regarding IK? lol. there are over 200 cases from murder to terrorist against almost every PTI members. lol

Why wouldn't PTI use cypher and play politics on it? Why? I mean why would anyone ask that question after reading the content of the cypher? lol

LOL at this one, you want to go head on with the most powerful nation in the world?

Your comment and points does not prove anything against PTI or over 80% population narrative, rather it is presented in way to make it look as if you have raised valid points, just like many psuedoliberal youtubers now a days for click.

You can't argue against the content of it you can't argue US being on backfoot after it reported by intercept, you can't argue fake cases made against PTI, the only thing is left to present facts in a way that it may looks different.

More than 80% population of Pakistan wants to elect IK, rest of the narrative is just garbage, rich and powerful trying to hold on to their ill-gotten wealth, and nothing more.

LAHORE: Punjab police have charged Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan and all other nominated accused with ‘criminal conspiracy’ in all May 9 cases registered in the province, including arson attacks on the residence of the Lahore corps commander.

Official sources said 50 cases had been registered under the anti-terrorism and other laws. Of them, 14 cases each were registered in various police stations of Lahore and Rawalpindi, while nine were lodged in Sargodha, seven in Sheikhupura, five in Faisalabad and one in Gujranwala.

They said the Punjab police recently added offences “under sections 121 (waging or attempting to wage war or abetting waging of war against Pakistan), 131 (abetting mutiny, or attempting to seduce a soldier, sailor or airman from his duty) and 146 (rioting)” of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC) into the FIRs.

Talking to the media here on Wednesday, Lahore SSP (investigation) Dr Anoosh Masood Chaudhry said that the police have also added some offences/sections, including 34 and 120b of the PPC, to the May 9 cases.

Responding to a question about the charges of criminal conspiracy added to the cases lodged against the PTI chairman, Dr Chaudhry said additional sections, including 120b, have been added to the challans under vandalism and violence charges registered on May 9.

According to the investigation by the Lahore police, the SSP said, apparently the evidence of inciting mutiny and planning vandalism on May 9 have been confirmed.

In reply to a question about the presence of the PTI chairman on the crime scene, she said that it does not matter whether he was physically present there or not as some evidence proved that he did incite the suspects to carry out violent attacks on sensitive installations of Pakistan Army.

PTI chief Imran Khan summoned by court in 'unIslamic nikah' case
Judge asks court staff to issue summon to present the PTI chief in court to Attock jail superintendent
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan has been summoned by a district and sessions court in Islamabad on September 25 in an “unIslamic nikah” case with his third wife Bushra Bibi.

Civil judge Qudratullah has asked the court staff to issue the summon to present the PTI chief in court to the Attock jail superintendent.

May of this year, a district and sessions court in Islamabad rejected the plea challenging the nikah (marriage) of Imran Khan with Bushra Bibi.

The application, according to the court, was “inadmissible” and fell outside its jurisdiction but, in July another Islamabad court dismissed the civil court's verdict.

Additional District and Sessions Judge (ADSJ) Islamabad Muhammad Azam Khan, back then, had remanded the case to a civil judge.

The petitioner, Muhammad Hanif, had claimed that Bushra Bibi was divorced by her former husband in November 2017 and married Khan on January 1, 2018, despite the fact that her Iddat period had not ended, "which is against the Sharia and Muslim norms."

The complainant submitted in the court the statements of Mufti Muhammad Saeed — who conducted the marriage between Imran and Bushra, and Awn Chaudhry — Imran's close friend — one of the witnesses at the wedding.

Saeed, who solemnised the couple's Nikah, had said that the PTI chief married Bushra Bibi during the latter's iddat (the time a woman goes into isolation after her husband dies or divorces her), despite knowing everything.

In his statement to a lower court, Saeed said he had solemnised Khan's Nikah with Bushra Bibi on January 1, 2018, over the assurance of a woman claiming to be the former first lady's sister.

Finally, Imran Khan being shifted to Adiala jail after IHC order
An 18-vehicle convoy, two armoured vehicles and an ambulance are escorting PTI chief from Attock to Adiala jail via motorway
ISLAMABAD: After much drama, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan is being moved to Rawalpindi's Adiala Jail from Attock prison, in line with the orders of the Islamabad High Court (IHC).

A day earlier, IHC CJ Aamer Farooq expressed his annoyance over keeping an ‘under-trial prisoner’ in Attock jail instead of Adiala jail and directed the concerned authorities to move Khan — who is currently serving a three-year sentence in the Toshakhana corruption case. — to the Adiala jail.

Confusion arose as officials of Adiala jail denied reports of the former prime minister's shifting to the prison after his lawyers made such claims.

Hours after the IHC directed the authorities concerned to move Khan to Adiala prison from the Attock jail, where he had been incarcerated for over a month, the members of his legal team said that the orders had been complied with.

Naeem Panjhota, who is the spokesperson of Khan on legal affairs, claimed that the ousted premier — who was removed from power via a parliamentary vote in April last year — had been shifted to the prison in Adiala.

However, the Adiala jail administration refuted the claim, saying that Khan had not yet been shifted there.

Later, taking to X — formerly known as Twitter — Panjhuta said that he had been informed that Imran Khan had been shifted to Adiala jail but "it is beyond understanding that Attock jail [authorities] are also saying that they have PTI chairman."

Earlier today, heavy contingents of police reached the Attock jail to shift Khan to the Adiala prison. An 18-vehicle convoy — including 15 vehicles of Islamabad police, two armoured vehicles and an ambulance escorted Khan from Attock to Adiala jail via motorway.

The Pakistani awaam are zombies who won't stand up for themselves, leave alone for Imran Khan. The least they can do is cause some uproar, have him released and sent back to his children, but no. Crickets. Tumbleweeds.

Bangladesh rightly revolted against this very junta 50+ years ago and look at the result. They are in a better place.

Could not agree more a joke of a population with a only a minority of sincere people, who I feel sorry for. May God help them

IHC to rule on Imran's appeals tomorrow

A divisional bench of the Islamabad High Ciurt will announce its reserved ruling on an appeal of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran against rejection of nine bail application by the lower courts, on Monday (tomorrow), according to the IHC cause list issued on Sunday.

A sessions court and an anti-terrorism court had dismissed the bail applications, following Imran’s conviction in Toshakhana case in August. The pleas were related to three cases over May 9 violence, another three over protest in Islamabad, besides forgery in Toshakhan case and others.

Imran had challenged the decisions, requesting the IHC that his bail pleas should be considered pending in the concerned courts. According to the cause list, the bench, led by Chief Justice Aamer Farooq and including Tariq Mehmood Jahangiri would pronounce the reserved ruling.

Separately, the IHC will take up an application from the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) for in-camera hearing of Imran’s bail plea in the cipher case. The court had already set the hearing of Imran’s bail plea for Monday. The court would also hear the FIA’s request.

The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) on Monday informed the Islamabad High Court (IHC) that an open hearing of PTI Chairman Imran Khan’s bail plea in the cipher case could pose a risk of deteriorating relations with other countries.

The cipher case pertains to a diplomatic document which reportedly went missing from Imran’s possession. The PTI alleges that it contained a threat from the United States to oust the party chairman from office.

Following the suspension of the PTI chairman’s three-year jail term in the Toshakhana case, it had emerged that he had been in judicial remand in the cipher case.

The post-arrest bail pleas of Imran and PTI Vice Chairman Shah Mahmood Qureshi were rejected by the special court earlier this month, following which the ex-premier approached the IHC seeking the same.

On September 26, both leaders’ judicial remand was extended till October 10 and as per the IHC’s orders, the PTI chief was shifted to Rawalpindi’s Adiala Jail from the Attock district jail.

Last week, IHC Chief Justice Aamer Farooq passed an order declaring that Imran’s bail application would be heard in an open court.

Meanwhile, the FIA submitted a challan (charge sheet) in the Special Court established under the Official Secrets Act, declaring Imran and Qureshi principal accused in the cipher case.

A day ago, the FIA filed a petition in the IHC seeking in-camera proceedings of the PTI chief’s bail plea in the case. The police have also ramped up security in the vicinity of the Adiala jail by deploying elite commandos and setting up additional security pickets.

Today, Justice Farooq took up the FIA’s plea. Barrister Salman Safdar appeared as Imran’s lawyer while special prosecutor Shah Khawar was present as the FIA’s counsel.

During the hearing, the prosecutor contended: We also have to present statements regarding other countries before the court. By bringing such statements before an open court, there is a risk of deteriorating relations with other countries.

Additional Attorney General (AAG) Munawar Iqbal Dogal also presented the code of conduct pertaining to diplomatic state documents before the IHC.

Meanwhile, Safdar pointed out that the FIA’s request, which was meant to prevent matters from being made public, contradicted its stance that the PTI chief had already made the cipher public.

Subsequently, the IHC reserved its verdict on the FIA’s plea seeking in-camera proceedings of Imran’s bail plea.

The Establihsment isn't dumb. You don't rule a nation of 200+ million people for 3 quarters of a century and counting by being dumb.

And if I was Imran Khan, if ever I am released, I will abandon this meek population and jet out to the UK to live out the rest of my years with my children. Let them fend for themselves.
