RAWALPINDI: The Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) Rawalpindi Judge Amjad Ali Shah has once again deferred the indictment of Imran Khan and other defendants in the case concerning the attack on the GHQ during the violent protests on May 9.
Judge Amjad Ali Shah presided over Monday’s hearing in Rawalpindi’s Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC), where a defence representative cited extensive road closures preventing access to the court.
Lawyer Muhammad Faisal Malik argued that the closed routes had made it impossible for the defendants, including PTI leader Imran Khan to appear in court. Acknowledging the obstacles, the court deferred the indictment proceedings until 28th November. The decision comes as cities across Punjab, including Islamabad and Rawalpindi, enforce road closures in response to PTI-led protests.
Among those unable to attend were senior party figures Shah Mahmood Qureshi and Sheikh Rashid Ahmed. More than 120 individuals are charged in the GHQ case, including prominent PTI leaders. Monday’s indictment had been anticipated as part of a series of legal actions following the May unrest.
