Islamabad: The High Court rejected the plea to immediately stop the cipher trial against former Chairman PTI Imran Khan and issued a notice for December 20 on the application for injunction.
Islamabad High Court issued notice to FIA till December 20.
Justice Mian Gul Hasan Aurangzeb heard the petition of former chairman PTI against non-fulfilment of legal process for jail trial.
Lawyer Sikandar Zulqarnain Saleem argued that the trial court’s order of December 4 has been challenged. Justice Mian Gul Hasan Aurangzeb said that I do not understand what they are saying in the order, where is the federal government’s notification of jail trial?
The lawyer ex-chairman PTI said that I don’t know, to which Justice Mian Gul Hasan Aurangzeb said why you don’t know why the jail trial is going on. The lawyer said that it is the job of the government, not the judge, to choose the place for the court.
Justice Mian Gul Hasan Aurangzeb remarked that it is the discretion of the judge, the judge can choose jail for the trial but it should be an open court.
The lawyer of former chairman PTI requested that the court stay the trial till the next hearing, on which Justice Mian Gul Hasan Aurangzeb said that the report should come and then we will see.
It should be noted that the former PTI chairman has challenged the non-process of the jail trial.
