SC serves notice to Punjab govt on PTI founder’s appeal cases
The apex court instructed the prosecution department to prepare on the identified legal points and adjourned the case until August 19.
Both Imran Khan’s legal team and opposing counsel were directed to assist the court on the specific legal questions raised.
Chief Justice Afridi clarified that the SC would refrain from making any observations that might impact another pending case against the PTI founder.
The matter was adjourned with the court noting that, for now, only the prosecution would be served notice, and both parties should come prepared for legal arguments at the next hearing.
Earlier, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government reacted to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan’s statement on military operation in tribal areas.
According to Chief Minister’s spokesperson Faraz Ahmed Mughal, the KP government has not confirmed the authenticity of a statement attributed to Imran Khan.
The statement, posted on Imran Khan’s X account, urged KP Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur to block any federal military operation in the province and its tribal areas, warning that such actions could harm the relationship between the institution and public.
The spokesperson stated that Chief Minister Gandapur has repeatedly affirmed that the KP government is a trust bestowed upon him by the PTI founder, Imran Khan.
He emphasized that Gandapur would step down from his position whenever directed by Imran Khan.
However, the spokesperson noted that despite being Chief Minister, Gandapur is unable to meet his leader due to restrictions.
The KP government, under Gandapur’s leadership, is actively working to establish peace and security in the province, Mughal said.
