QUETTA: A division bench of Balochistan High Court today ordered quashment of an FIR registered against PTI chairman Imran Khan in the murder case of senior lawyer Abdul Razzaq Shar.
Announcing the verdict on the plea of the Insaf Lawyers Forum (ILF), the bench, comprising BHC Chief Justice Naeem Akhtar Afghan and Justice Gul Hasan Tareen, quashed the murder case and also suspended the arrest warrant issued against Khan by a judicial magistrate.
“Alhamdulillah, the court has dismissed the FIR registered against Imran Khan in Bijli Road police station in Quetta, once again Imran Khan has been vindicated in a false case, congratulations to all Pakistan on the victory of justice,” Khan’s counsel Naeem Haider Panjutha wrote on X.
Before his assassination a few months ago, Razzaq had filed a court petition, pleading that treason proceedings could be initiated against Khan for unconstitutionally dissolving National Assembly after he lost a vote of confidence in April, 2022.
