Islamabad court orders not to arrest PTI chief until March 16

PTI Chairman and former prime minister Imran Khan on Tuesday challenged the non-bailable arrest warrants in case of hurling threats at female judge.

The court ordered the authorities not to arrest Imran Khan until March 16, halting implementation on the non-bailable arrest warrants.

Islamabad Additional Sessions Judge Faizan Haider heard the appeal filed by Imran Khan earlier on Tuesday.

Advocates Naeem Haider and Intezar Haider represented Imran Khan in the court.

Earlier in the day, Imran Khan challenged the non-bailable arrest warrants issued for him yesterday in the case of threatening a female judge.

The appeal was filed in the court of Duty Judge Sikandar Khan in Islamabad.

A local court in Islamabad had on Monday issued non-bailable arrest warrants for Imran Khan in the case of threatening female judge Zeba Chaudhry.

Judge Rana Mujahid Rahim of the district and sessions court had rejected Imran’s application seeking exemption from appearance in the court and issued his arrest warrants for failing to attend hearing of the case registered against him for hurling threats at Additional District and Sessions Judge Zeba Chaudhry
