ISLAMABAD: A local court on Friday again deferred framing of charges against former chief minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Ali Amin Gandapur in the audio leak case and issued his non-bailable arrest warrants.

Additional Session Judge Nasruminallah Baloch, while hearing the case, issued warrants for Gandapur for not appearing before it. The court ordered police to arrest the accused and produce him before the court.

Neither Gandapur nor his counsel appeared before the court. Due to the non-availability of Gandapur, the court deferred the indictment proceedings. The court adjourned the hearing of the case till January 20 next year.

The case was registered against the PTI leader at Islamabad’s Golra police station under Section 7 of the Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA).

The FIR also invoked Sections 120B (punishment of criminal conspiracy), 121 (waging or attempting to wage war or abetting waging of war against Pakistan), 121A (conspiracy to commit offences punishable by Section 121), 122 (collecting arms, etc, with intention of waging war against Pakistan), 506 (criminal intimidation) of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC) and Section 16 of Maintenance of Public Order (MPO) ordinance.

The FIR says, an audio was aired on a private news channel in which two persons were heard talking about weapons.
