ISLABABAD: Supreme Court(SC) of Pakistan on Thursday termed PTI Chief Imran Khan’s arrest illegal and ordered to release him immediately.
he order came shortly after the PTI chief was presented in court. He was brought in a convoy of 15 vehicles amid strict security.
The SC had directed the authorities to present Khan — who was ousted as the prime minister last year in April — at 4:30pm, but he was produced at around 5:40pm, more than an hour later.
The directives to present Khan in the court came after Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Umar Ata Bandial termed the PTI leader’s arrest from the premises of Islamabad High Court (IHC) as a mighty disgrace to the country’s judicial establishment.
Earlier the police presented Khan in the SC on the order of the top court.
