A district and sessions court Friday approved a request seeking to produce Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf founder Imran Khan and party leader Shah Mahmood Qureshi in court, directing authorities to ensure the politicians’ production on April 20.
The petition, requesting their production, was heard by Judicial Magistrate Mureed Abbas in relation to the Parliament attack case against Imran Khan and others, in which the former prime minister’s lawyer, Naeem Panjotha, gave his arguments.
The lawyer, during the hearing, argued that the Superintendent of Adiala jail does not obey the order of any court. He insisted the court to ensure that the jail officials adhere to the orders and produce Imran.
He added that jail authorities make excuses and the PTI founder is not even presented for a hearing via video link.
