The capital police on Saturday filed a petition in a district and sessions court against a verdict of a judicial magistrate to reject a plea for extension in physical remand of PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry in a case related to threatening members of the electoral body and their families.
The police have pleaded the court to declare Judicial Magistrate Waqas Ahmed Raja’s ruling null and void. Additional Sessions Judge Tahir Mahmood has issued notices to the parties in the case.
A day earlier, the judicial magistrate sent the former information minister to the Adiala Jail on 14-day judicial remand after turning down a police plea for extension in the physical remand.
