The Islamabad High Court (IHC) Tuesday turned down a petition moved by the federation challenging the pre-arrest bail of Pakistan Peoples Party's (PPP) leader Senator Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar. A single bench of IHC comprising Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani heard the petition filed by the advocate general Islamabad, stating that the PPP's senator and Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari's spokesman had misused his authority and created obstacles in arrest of former President Asif Ali Zardari on June 10.
After hearing the arguments, the court reserved its verdict which was later announced and the petition was dismissed. The petition challenging Khokhar's pre-arrest bail said that he had tried to put obstructions in the performance of official duty. It added that everyone was equal before law and prayed to the court to dismiss his pre-arrest bail. Earlier, Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar had obtained a pre-arrest bail from a lower court after a first information report (FIR) was registered against him regarding the issue.
