ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) removed the objections of the registrar on Tuesday and fixed the petition for hearing, filed by the PTI Chairman challenging the FIA inquiry in a matter of cipher.
Accordingly, Chief Justice IHC Aamer Farooq heard the petition along with the objections being raised by the office of the registrar of the apex court. The lawyer of the petitioner, Sardar Latif Khosa, expressed that an objection was raised against the petition stating that a similar case was already pending. He further said that the previous petition was relevant to the bail.
Latif Khosa argued that the matter of cipher couldn’t be tackled as the prime minister had immunity under Article 248 of the constitution, adding that the Chairman PTI had appeared before the investigative agency and was interrogated for three hours but the same day one more notice was served to his client.
Meanwhile, the court removed the objections of the registrar’s office, ordering to fix the case for hearing.
