Dogal informed the IHC that Khawaja Khurshid is in the custody of the military on charges of espionage after which the court wrapped up the case. The AAG replied in affirmative when the IHC judge asked whether Khawaja Khurshed was retired from the military.
“It’s good the person has been located,” remarked Justice Kayani, directing the petitioner’s lawyer that they can move the relevant forum now.
