ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) has suspended the eight-day physical remand of the PTI MNAs arrested in connection with the cases registered against them after the September 8 rally.
Earlier today, five Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) MNAs, including Amir Dogar, had approached the Islamabad High Court (IHC) challenging the eight-day physical remand order.
The petitioners took the stand that as members of the National Assembly, they were illegally arrested from the Assembly premises without any reason and taken to an unknown location.
A two-member bench comprising Chief Justice Aamir Farooq and Justice Tariq Mehmood Jahangiri heard the arguments of the petitioners.
Counsel for the petitioners contended that the order of physical remand was illegal, and the trial court had not given any reason for granting the remand.
He also said that the prosecution failed to provide any evidence against the accused.
The IHC bench suspended the order of physical remand and directed the prosecution to present its arguments on the matter at the next hearing.
The court also issued a notice to the Advocate General Islamabad and the Prosecutor General and adjourned the hearing of the case till September 14 yesterday.
