ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders Dr Shireen Mazari and Senator Falak Naz Chitrali have both been granted blanket relief by the Islamabad High Court (IHC) after its order barring authorities from arresting them.
The court, on Wednesday, also stopped authorities from further investigating the two politicians when they appeared before the judge hearing plea seeking relief from further arrest.
At the federal capital’s top court, the police sought a three-day remand of both PTI politicians, which was turned down by the court.
“No further investigation is needed from Falak Naz and Shireen Mazari,” the judge remarked.
The court then went on to order authorities against their arrest, directing them to present details of the cases filed against them.
A district and sessions court in Islamabad had earlier discharged the case against the PTI leaders after they were re-arrested last night — hours after their release from Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi.
The two women politicians were freed after the court issued its verdict in their favour.
Both Senator Chitrali and PTI Senior Vice-President Dr Mazari — who were booked for attempted murder and showing off weapon at the Tarnol police station — were presented before the court of Judicial Magistrate Shabbir Bhatti.
