A local court in Islamabad has deferred the indictment of PTI leader Shahbaz Gill in a case pertaining to incite mutiny in state institutions, reported 24NewsHD TV Channel.

Additional Sessions Judge Islamabad Ahmad Arshad Mehmood conducted the hearing as duty judge on Saturday as Additional Sessions Judge Tahir Abbas Sipra was on leave. 

Accused Shahbaz Gill and Amad Yousuf did not appear before the court. The court accepted their requests seeking exemption from court appearance. 

The lawyer told the court that Gill could not appear because he was ill as he was a patient of asthma. He further said that Amad Yousuf had to come from Karachi but he could not get flight today.

Accepting lawyer’s plea, the judge granted them exemption from court appearance today and deferred Gill’s indictment in the case till December 12.
