Balochistan High Court (BHC) Friday suspended the non-bailable arrest warrants issued by a judicial magistrate in Quetta for the former prime minister and PTI Chairman Imran Khan for a period of two weeks.
Justice Zaheeruddin Kakar of the BHC, while suspending the warrants, issued notices to parties to the case.
The court will resume hearing of the constitutional petition after two weeks.
Earlier in the day, PTI filed a petition in the Balochistan High Court challenging the registration of a case pertaining to hate speech against Imran Khan in Quetta.
The high court has been prayed to quash the case against the PTI chairman.
BHC Justice Zaheeruddin Kakar admitted the petition for hearing.
The petition was filed by Imran’s lawyer Syed Iqbal Shah Advocate.
The petition stated that the case could not be registered in Bijli Road police station as the ‘crime’ on which the case has been registered was not committed in the vicinity of Bijli Road.
The petitioner beseeched the court to quash the FIR against him.
He also requested the court to suspend the non-bailable arrest warrants issued by the judicial magistrate against him in the case.
A case was registered against Imran at Bijli Road police station in Quetta on Monday.
