The District and Sessions Court Islamabad on Thursday rejected Imran Khan’s plea and upheld his non-bailable arrest warrants in Toshakhana case. Additional District and Sessions Judge Zafar Iqbal announced the verdict reserved earlier redirecting the authorities concerned to arrest the former prime minister and present him before the court on March 18. He mentioned that the decision has been taken after reviewing each and every aspect of the law, hoping that the petitioners will enjoy reading the detailed verdict. “Imran Khan has given declarations scores of times. DIG visited to talk with Imran Khan, but stones thrown at him,” lawyer said. “Warrants suspend when an accused appears in court. An extra-ordinary relief being demanded from the court,” counsel said. “Warrant was meant for production of an accused in court, where is he,” ECP lawyer questioned. “They are only interested in arrest of Imran Khan, when he himself want to appear,” Imran Khan’s counsel said. “They want to degrade him,” lawyer said. The election commission lawyer asked the court that the undertaking should be considered in view of earlier assurances and pleaded to reject the petition seeking suspension of the arrest warrant. I.G. Islamabad informed the court that the DIG Operation and 65 policemen have been injured. “Our water cannons have burnt, 10 police vehicles were also set on fire,” police chief said. “Lahore Police and administration are making estimates of losses,” he added. “Article 25 says that all people have equal rights. In my opinion a concession to a person should also be given to all 220 million countrymen,” Islamabad I.G. said in the court. The Islamabad High Court on Wednesday disposed off a petition filed by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) seeking cancellation of arrest warrants issued for party chairman Imran Khan in Toshakhana case. The IHC directed Imran Khan to submit the undertaking, wherein he should assure that he would appear in the trial court in March 18 hearing.
