ISLAMABAD: Supreme Court (SC) on Monday restrained police from arresting PTI chief Imran Khan till August 9 in the murder case of senior lawyer Abdul Razzaq in Quetta.
Advocate Shar was gunned down by unidentified people on three motorcycles while he was on his way to the Balochistan High Court (BHC) on June 6.
A first information report (FIR) had been registered against Khan, and others on the complaint of the slain lawyer’s son, Advocate Siraj Ahmed, in Quetta, under the charges of murder, Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA) and other provisions.
A three-member bench comprising Justice Yahya Afridi, Justice Mazahar Ali Akbar Naqvi, and Justice Mussarat Hilali directed Khan to appear before the court on August 9.
At the outset of the proceedings, the PTI chief appeared before the court as directed by the bench on the last hearing.
However, the arguments from the complainant’s lawyer couldn’t be given due to his absence.
