The legal team filed a petition

 

The Islamabad High Court has given this decision after a petition filed by the legal team of Imran's party Pakistan Tehreek Insaf on Monday. According to the local media of Pakistan, while hearing the petition, Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani asked about the objections raised on the FIR. In response, Imran's lawyer said that his client's house has been cordoned off. Due to this, he is not able to reach the court.

 

Allegations of the government in the petition

 

Imran's lawyers Babar Awan and Faisal Choudhary had filed a pre-arrest bail petition. According to the petition, Imran Khan is being targeted by the ruling Pakistan Democratic Movement. It has been claimed that Imran Khan is raising his voice against corruption and corrupt politicians. That's why they are being harassed. It has also been said in the petition that the government has crossed all limits to arrest Imran Khan. According to this, the allegations have also been leveled against him falsely.

 

The petition also states that the most recent FI registered against Imran is politically influenced.
