PESHAWAR: The Peshawar High Court (PHC) on Monday issued notices to the federal government and the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to submit replies by July 23, the next date of hearing, in a writ petition filed by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leader and ex-minister Shaukat Yousafzai against his offloading from a UK-bound flight a week ago.

Counsel for the petitioner Syed Sikander Hayat Shah informed the PHC bench comprising Justice SM Attique Shah and Justice Dr Khurshid Iqbal that Shaukat Yousafzai was traveling to Manchester to meet his daughter when he was stopped by the FIA at the Islamabad airport.
