LHC declares detention of Shehryar illegal

The Lahore High Court (LHC) Rawalpindi bench made a ruling on Thursday, declaring the detention of former PTI minister Shehryar Afridi as well as his brother Farrukh Afridi as illegal.

The decision was handed down by Justice Anwar-ul-Haq Pannu after hearing the petition filed against Shehryar Afridi’s detention.

The case under scrutiny was registered in Bahawalpur, and during the court proceedings, Justice Anwar-ul-Haq Pannu approved the protective bail for Shehryar Afridi. The court subsequently declared his detention in Adiala Jail as unlawful, a verdict that comes as a relief to the former PTI minister.
