ISLAMABAD – Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Founder Imran Khan on Tuesday challenged the appointment of the state lawyers in the cipher case.
Imran Khan filed a petition in the Islamabad High Court (IHC) through his lawyers, requesting that the court declare the order of January 26 in the cipher case null and void, and also declare the action taken after appointment of the state counsels null and void.
PTI leader Barrister Gohar said that he personally saw the murder of justice in Adiala Jail, where court proceedings against Imran Khan in fake cases are being conducted contrary to the demands of law and justice, whereas judges are bound to conduct fair proceedings based on the fundamental constitutional demands of hearing impartially, regardless of the nature of the allegations in any case.
Barrister Gohar said that in such sensitive cases, it is also the responsibility of the judges to maintain transparency and the minimum standards of justice.
He said that the providing justice to the country’s most popular political leader is therefore a matter of justice, so it is requested to the Chief Justice to take note of this matter and make arrangements to rectify the serious deviations that occur in fair hearings of justice cases.
“We will challenge today’s court proceedings in the Supreme Court,” said Barrister Gohar.
Barrister Gohar said that the Chief Justice expects immediate hearing of our request from the Islamabad High Court and it will be heard openly, as far as those who are busy drawing lines in the name of the nation’s most popular leader, they should remember that Almighty Allah would not allow the honor of the nation’s leader to be diminished with his kindness and mercy.
