SC Accepts Imran Khan’s Plea for Judicial Inquiry into May 9 Incidents
The prosecution claims Khan incited attacks on military and government installations, which led to widespread unrest.
ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court of Pakistan has admitted a petition filed by PTI chairman Imran Khan, seeking a judicial inquiry into the May 9 incidents. A constitutional bench overruled the registrar’s objections and instructed the case to be scheduled for a full hearing.
Khan’s lawyer, Hamid Khan, argued for the petition’s admissibility. This comes after the Lahore Anti-Terrorism Court found Imran Khan guilty in multiple cases related to the May 9 violence, rejecting his bail in eight cases. The court’s ruling highlighted significant evidence, including audio and visual recordings, implicating Khan in orchestrating violence. The prosecution claims Khan incited attacks on military and government installations, which led to widespread unrest.
