Karachi: (Staff Reporter) The Sindh High Court (SHC) fixed for hearing a constitutional petition filed by PTI’s focal person Hassaan Khan Niazi’s father against registration of cases and arrest of his son.

According to the source, Hassaan Niazi’s father Hafeezullah Niazi appeared before Sindh High Court with his lawyers. He prayed to court that the case pertaining to his son’s arrest be heard today. Justice KK Agha replied that court had immense burden of other cases so hearing of the petition was not possible on the same day. He remarked that court will begin hearing of the plea on Thursday.

As per details the SHC fixed for hearing Hafeezullah’s plea for March 30. Hafeezullah, in his petition, took the stance that his son was being involved and arrested in fake and baseless cases. He prayed to the court to declare his son Hassaan Niazi’s arrest as illegal and null and void. A case had been registered against the PTI leader at the Jamshed Quarter police station in Karachi on allegations of delivering provocative speeches.
