Description

Supreme Court on Thursday ordered the NAB to release PTI chief Imran Khan "immediately" after declaring his arrest in the Al-Qadir Trust case "illegal".

A three-member bench, headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan Umar Ata Bandial and comprising Justice Athar Minallah and Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar, heard the case after the PTI had approached the apex court over IHC's decision to arrest Mr Khan in connection with the Al-Qadir Trust case.

The court subsequently ordered Mr Khan to approach the IHC, the court that had declared Mr Khan's arrest "legal".

Police had presented Mr Khan in the court amid tight security on CJP Umar Ata Bandial's orders.

DIG Operations Shehzad Bukhari reached outside the court and reviewed the security measures in place. Mr Khan's vehicle entered the SC premises through the Judges' gate, reported to be happening for the first time, as the gate is exclusively used by SC judges to enter the court.

Police, FC, and Rangers have been deployed outside the Islamabad's Red Zone, where the SC is situated, to ensure fool-proof security.

CJP Bandial earlier remarked that the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) had committed contempt by violating court sanctity while arresting PTI chief Imran Khan. The Supreme Court heard a petition filed by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf against the arrest of party chairman Imran Khan in the Al-Qadir Trust case.
