IHC rejects PTI founder’s request to transfer Toshakhana case

ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court has once again rejected the request to immediately transfer the Toshakhana II case of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder to another bench.

Justice Inam Amin Minhas issued a written order on the petitions seeking acquittal of the PTI founder and Bushra Bibi in the Toshakhana-II case.

The court dismissed the request for urgent transfer of the case to another bench and directed the petitioners’ lawyer to provide further legal assistance in the matter.

The order stated that according to Supreme Court rulings, a judge must decide independently whether to step down from a case in case of any objections.

Subsequently, the court sought further legal assistance on the objection raised and adjourned the hearing indefinitely.

Earlier, the Islamabad High Court (IHC) has sought a response from the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA)  ​​on the acquittal pleas of Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf (PTI) founder and Bashra Bibi in the Tosha Khana-2 case.

Justice Raja Inam Minhas of Islamabad High Court heard the acquittal pleas of Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi in Toshakhana-2 case.

During the hearing, Imran Khan’s lawyer Salman Safdar requested an injunction on the trial of Toshakhana-2 case. On which Justice Raja Inam said that there is no judicial precedent for stalling the criminal proceedings at this point, we will also notify the other party of your request.

Meanwhile, Salman Safdar requested to change the bench and said that Justice Gul Hassan Aurangzeb has heard 5 petitions related to this case, it would be appropriate that this court should also send the acquittal petitions to the same court.
