Earlier, PTI Chairman Imran Khan was arrested from the premises of Islamabad high court.
On the other hand, In a major relief for Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Chairman Imran Khan’s arrest in the Al-Qadir Trust case has been declared “illegal” by the Supreme Court and authorities have been ordered to release him “immediately”.
The court also directed Khan to approach the Islamabad High Court (IHC) once again.
The order came shortly after the PTI chief was presented in the apex court. He was brought in a convoy of 15 vehicles amid strict security.
The SC had directed the authorities to present Khan — who was ousted as the prime minister last year in April — at 4:30 pm, but he was produced at around 5:40 pm, more than an hour later.
When the hearing resumed, Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Umar Ata Bandial told Khan, “It is good to see you.”
“We believe that Imran Khan’s arrest was illegal,” remarked the CJP.
CJP Bandial said that the IHC should hear the case tomorrow. “You will have to accept whatever the high court decides,” he added.
The CJP said that it is every politician’s responsibility to ensure law and order.
