Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) patron Imran Khan’s legal team has requested to stop the hearing of the GHQ attack case.
According to media reports, during the hearing of the GHQ attack case, Imran Khan’s legal team filed a petition in the Anti-Terrorism Court to stop the trial, in which it has taken the position that ‘the trial should be stopped until the Lahore High Court’s decision on the video link trial.’
The government lawyer said in this regard that ‘Imran Khan’s lawyers have already filed two applications against the video link trial’, on which the court has called for arguments from the parties today.
On the other hand, the petition against the video link trial of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) patron Imran Khan has been lost in the registry of the Rawalpindi Bench of the Lahore High Court. Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader.
Imran Khan’s lawyer Salman Akram Raja has said that he has been informed that the petition filed by Imran Khan against the video link trial has been lost in the registry of the Rawalpindi Bench of the Lahore High Court.
My lawyer, Irfan Niazi, has been informed by the registrar’s staff that the file cannot be found, so the case cannot be taken up for hearing.
This situation raises concerns about the transparency and efficiency of the court process. Without the necessary documents, it becomes increasingly difficult for the defense to proceed and present its case effectively.

He said that the petition against the sham trial of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Patron-in-Chief Imran Khan via video link was filed in the Rawalpindi bench on September 23. Due to the silence of the registrar, Latif Khosa and I met the senior judge of the High Court in the chamber today and were told that the petition is unlikely to be filed before September 29, while September 28 is the date in the Anti-Terrorism Court.
In the previous hearing, the requests of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Patron-in-Chief and former Prime Minister Imran Khan to provide footage and stop the trial in the GHQ attack case were rejected. In this regard, the case was heard in the Rawalpindi Anti-Terrorism Court by Judge Amjad Ali Shah, where the founding chairman of PTI’s lawyers, Faisal Malik, and Salman Akram Raja appeared in the court.
Alongside the squad were special prosecutors Ikram Amin Minhas and Zaheer Shah. Throughout the session, the defence attorneys asked for the CCTV cameras and video of the September 19 court proceedings.
Until the High Court orders the trial to be transferred to jail, another request was made to halt the court proceedings. According to the court, “I spoke to your founder at the last hearing and he boycotted the court proceedings, you should challenge the WhatsApp communication in the High Court.
” In response, attorney Faisal Malik stated that he does not want to be a part of the court proceedings until he consults with Imran Khan.”
The lawyer for Imran Khan responded, “We have challenged the WhatsApp communication in the High Court, WhatsApp call video link cannot be considered, we should be given time to challenge the previous order of this court.” The court responded, “You can certainly go and challenge it but the court proceedings cannot be stopped.”
Ikram Amin Minhas, the prosecutor, stated, “The defence attorneys did not participate in the court proceedings at the prior hearing. The court is not required to respond to any queries from the defence attorneys during today’s session.
After leaving the court one day, the defence attorneys claim that we should be given more time the next day. Recordings of the prosecution’s witnesses are required. One cannot halt the trial. The defence attorneys’ actions demonstrate their lack of commitment to the trial.
The defence attorneys are merely squandering the court’s time. Likewise, Zaheer Shah, the prosecutor, stated, “There is no law pertaining to stopping the trial.” On the request of the defence attorneys at the prior hearing, the court has already issued an order. It is considered contempt of court to raise objections to the court order.
Regarding this, attorney Faisal Malik stated, “We are calling for a fair trial. How is this a fair trial if neither the accused nor the attorney can listen to each other? In response, prosecutor Zaheer Shah stated, “Bypassing the judicial proceedings and reapplying is a U-turn.
The Lahore High Court’s rulings prohibit sharing any video or transcripts with anybody. The lawyers are looking for a reason to go out and be harmed by the press. Several days ago, the same court granted Aleema Khan’s bail. This time, Salman Akram Raja stated, “Courts function in accordance with the constitution rather than directives from the government.”
A court cannot show a person who is locked in a cell phone during a WhatsApp call. Speaking to attorney Salman Akram Raja, the court stated that “you have every right to challenge the order of this court, but the court proceedings cannot be stopped until the High Court issues an order.”
In response, Salman Akram Raja stated that “we should be allowed to consult with Imran Khan; it is not necessary to run the trial at a fast pace.” “The founder started giving speeches the last time your lawyers spoke to him,” the court retorted. “We are not allowed to meet Imran Khan, the lawyer follows the instructions of his client,” Salman Akram Raja said.
