While suspending judicial magistrate arrest warrant against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan for two weeks on Friday, Balochistan High Court (BHC) summoned provincial police chief and other officials of the Bijli Police Station Quetta.
The suspension comes amid the arrival of a Quetta police team in Zaman Park Lahore to apprehend the PTI chairman in response to trial proceedings before Quetta judicial magistrate.
A single-member bench of the BHC comprising Justice Zaheerud Din Kakar suspended the arrest warrant in the matter in response to a plea filed by Advocate Iqbal Shah of the Insaf Lawyers Forum filed on behalf of the PTI chairman. Appearing before the court , the counsel Shah argued that offence wasn’t committed in the jurisdiction of Bijli Police Station where the case had been registered and requested the court to quash the criminal case against Imran Khan. After a brief hearing of the matter, the bench adjourned the hearing for two weeks
Quetta police in Lahore for arrest:
Meanwhile, a five-member team led by Superintendent of Police (SP) Investigations Nadeem had arrived in Lahore to arrest the PTI chief. The team includes Deputy Superintendent of Police Abdul Sattar, a sub-inspector and two other officers.
A day earlier, a local court in Quetta issued a non-bailable arrest warrant for the PTI chief in a case registered against him under multiple sections of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC) and the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act, 2016 (PECA). The judicial magistrate issued the arrest warrant and directed authorities to present the former prime minister in court.
It is pertinent to mention that an FIR was registered at a police station in Quetta against Imran Khan for the comments he made against state institutions and their officers during a speech on Sunday.
Complainant Abdul Khalil Kakar had registered the complaint at the Bijli Road Police Station against the PTI chief. The FIR included Sections 153A, 124A, and 505 of the PPC and Section 20 of PECA.
Kakar had alleged that the PTI chief’s statement was an attempt to destroy public peace and order. In the speech on Sunday, the PTI chief had come down hard on the “state institutions” after a team of Islamabad police had arrived at his Zaman Park residence to arrest him in the Toshakhana case.
Former prime minister Imran Khan who was ousted from power in April last year — vented his rage while addressing party workers and supporters at Zaman Park residence in Lahore who participated in the “Jail Bharo Tehreek” (voluntary arrest movement). In his speech, the PTI chairman said that he had neither kneeled before any institution or person nor would let the nation do so.
