Islamabad: The District and Sessions court on Tuesday acquitted the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan in two cases related to vandalism during long march.
The PTI founder was booked in two cases at Loohi Bheer and Sahala police stations.
Judicial Magistrate Ayesha Kundi heard the cases.
At the outset of the hearing, Khan’s lawyer, Advocate Naeem Panjotha, argued that the vandalism, as per the case, took place at his client’s behest.
“Several cases were registered in a single day and the PTI’s founder was framed in the same role,” Panjotha argued.
The lawyer added that neither a notification was issued nor the party was informed regarding the enforcement of Section 144. The lawyer maintained that the plaintiff is the Station House Officer (SHO), who has no jurisdiction to register the case.
After hearing arguments from both sides, the court acquitted the PTI founder in both cases.
