Earlier, the Sindh High Court (SHC) was told Thursday that cases against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Azam Swati had been quashed across the province and he had been sent to Islamabad.
The Sindh prosecutor general told the court that all the cases against Azam Swati had been categorised as C class.
“Not only Karachi, but the cases against Azam Swati have been quashed across the province, and he has been sent to Islamabad. The petitions are now ineffective,” he added.
“The Sindh inspector general of police (IGP) has submitted the report. He gave special attention to the issue in personal capacity. We are grateful to him for that,” he stated.
The Sindh IGP also appeared before the court and apologised for the bitterness during the last hearing.
On the other hand, a court in Islamabad ordered Thursday to produce Azam Swati at 12pm in controversial tweet case.
Judicial Magistrate Muhammad Shabbir heard the case, and Dr Babar Awan appeared in the court on behalf of Azam Swati.
“In your case, the challan has not been presented yet,” the court said to the lawyer for Azam Swati.
“We were asked for three days that there will be arguments on the bail application, and then the judge was transferred,” the lawyer told the court.
“Two high courts of the country set a high precedent for the rule of law and disposed of all the cases [against Azam Swati],” he added.
