ISLAMABAD: A district and sessions court on Tuesday issued arrest warrants for PTI leaders in the Aza-di March cases.
Senior Civil Judge Muhammad Abbas Shah heard two cases related to the march, where PTI founder Imran Khan and others are nominated. None of the accused appeared before the court.
Due to their absence, the court issued arrest warrants for Ali Nawaz Awan, Raja Khurram Nawaz, and others.
The court could not hear arguments on the acquittal pleas, with Judge Abbas Shah stating that he would only consider the requests in the presence of the accused. The petitioners’ lawyer argued that in previous cases, Imran Khan was acquitted despite his absence. The hearing was adjourned until April 23.
Two cases against Imran Khan and others are registered at Kohsar Police Station. –Agencies
