Supreme Court of Pakistan (SC) is hearing a petition filed by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf against the arrest of party chairman Imran Khan in the Al-Qadir Trust case.

A three-member bench headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan Umar Ata Bandial and comprising Justice Athar Minallah and Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar is hearing the case while PTI lawyers are present in the court.

The PTI has challenged a verdict of the Islamabad High Court (IHC) declaring the arrest of party chief Imran Khan “lawful”. The PTI argued that the arrest of Imran Khan was illegal and sought his immediate release.

IHC Verdict

The IHC on Tuesday night declared the arrest of Imran Khan 'legal'. IHC Chief Justice Amir Farooq announced the reserved verdict by accepting the point of view of the NAB. Earlier, it reserved verdict in the case whether the arrest, hours earlier, was illegal or had legal backing.

The CJ sprang into action soon after a team of Rangers took Imran Khan into custody on the premises of court where the PTI chief had come in two cases.

Earlier, a team of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB), with the help of Rangers, took Imran Khan into custody, prompting the IHC to take notice. The NAB adopted a view that Imran Khan did not respond to the notices sent to him and his arrest was 'completely in line with law and as per NAB ordinance'.

Imran’s arrest warrant was signed by NAB Chairman retired Lt-Gen Nazir Ahmed. It said the PTI chief was accused of corruption and corrupt practices under Section 9(a) of the National Accountability Ordinance, 1999.
