LAHORE: An administrative judge of the Lahore High Court (LHC) on Monday rejected a petition seeking permission for entry of PTI Chairman Imran Khan’s vehicle in court premise owing to security threats.
Justice Abid Aziz Shaikh announced the verdict on the petition filed by PTI leader Shibli Faraz for security clearance for the party chief. The request was made in view of the threats to the former premier, who wounded last year in an assassination attempt in Wazirabad.
The petition comes as the PTI chief is expected to appear before a single-bench hearing a protective bail plea filed by him in a case pertaining to protest outside the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP).
The legal team has decided to consult the matter with Imran Khan after the security clearance petition was rejected.
