The Islamabad High Court ordered former prime minister Imran Khan to join the probe in the Al-Qadir Trust corruption case. The IHC gave this order a day after giving multiple bails to PTI chairman Imran Khan on Friday. The court issued its written order in the interim bail petition of Imran Khan in the Al-Qadir Trust case.
The IHC ordered Imran Khan before the investigation officer whenever required in this case.
According to the court order, if Imran Khan obstructs the investigation in the Al-Qadir Trust case, the National Accountability Bureau can seek cancellation of his bail from the court.
According to the IHC order, the advocate general and the additional attorney general said Article 245 of the Constitution is in force, and Imran Khan cannot get relief.
However, the court observed this stance of the advocate general and additional attorney general as aggressive. According to the order of the IHC, this stance means usurping fundamental rights.
