Notice issued to federal and Punjab government on Imran Khan’s jail transfer request
The Anti-Terrorism Court of Islamabad has issued summon notices to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf Chairman Imran Khan on different dates in 5 cases.
In the anti-terrorism court, a hearing was held on 5 cases filed under the Terrorism Act against Chairman PTI, while the lawyers of Chairman PTI, Jan Muhammad, Sardar Bhujji and Naeem Panjotha appeared in the court.
Lawyer Safai Jan Muhammad said that it is not easy to bring PTI chairman from jail to court every day.
On which Judge Abul Hasnat remarked that it is known that it is not appropriate to bring daily from the jail and the presence of the accused involved in the cases should also be marked.
Lawyer Safai Jan Muhammad requested that instead of keeping different dates for all the five cases, they should keep one date, they want Imran Khan’s attendance to be arranged without any difficulties, Chairman PTI also has security issues.
Judge Abul Hasnat remarked that Imran Khan has to come only one day, which is difficult, the number of co-accused is high, it will be difficult to schedule attendance separately, when there is a matter of summoning, then all the cases will be clubbed.
The court issued summon notices to former Prime Minister Imran Khan on different dates in 5 cases.
The court issued a summons notice in 2 cases registered in Ramna police station of Chairman PTI on September 25, in CTD and Sangjani police stations on October 12 and in Golra police station on October 5.

I request that the request for suspension of sentence be approved today, the decision on Imran Khan’s request for suspension of sentence should be taken today.

No authority, the trial court had pronounced the judgment without giving even a day’s time, the trial court had ended the right to defence.
