In a threat to a judge case, the court suspends Imran's arrest warrant until March 16.

 ISLAMABAD:

An Islamabad district and sessions court on Tuesday suspended the non-bailable arrest warrant against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan in the case pertaining to threatening a judge.

The orders were issued during additional sessions, and the warrant was put on hold until March 16.

Naeem Panjotha, Imran's attorney, and Intizar Panjotha, Imran's lawyer, challenged the non-bailable warrants during the hearing. Intizar maintained that Imran's conditions were bailable. The judge then inquired as to whether bailable arrest warrants had previously been issued. Intizar expressed said that no bailable capture warrant was given.

The court guided Imran's legal counselors to fix the archives introduced by them, with the adjudicator expressing that he was unable to grasp the reports.

According to Intizar, Imran was the previous prime minister, and it was the government's responsibility to provide security; however, the current government has removed security.

The counsel responded that they could present the letter to the judge when the judge asked if there was a letter stating that Imran's security was removed. After that, the judge told Imran's lawyers to send the letters by Wednesday.

The PTI chairman was also summoned in the Toshakhana case, according to the government's lawyer. Naeem responded that Imran had shown up at the judicial complex to the judge's observation that Imran's election campaign had begun.

The judge maintained that the PTI leader had entered the courtroom but had not entered the judicial complex. He inquired of the PTI attorney regarding the party's efforts to implement legal reforms and was informed that Imran was prepared to appear in court via video link, but there was no focus on "legal reforms."

The court stated that Imran needed to appear in front of the judge in order to receive a copy of the case, pointing out that copies of the case were only given to the accused for their own use.

Because there was a petition for a video-link appearance before the Islamabad High Court (IHC), Intizar asked the court to set a date for March 21. In response, the judge stated that the attorney was aware of the video-link request's progress and suggested that the judge "should give two months to the former premier."

The former premier's attorney responded that personal commitments prevented him from appearing in court tomorrow and requested a date for the day after tomorrow.

The hearing was postponed until March 16 after the court sent notice to the parties.
