LAHORE: The Lahore High Court (LHC) has ordered the release of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) AJK lawmaker Ghulam Mohiuddin.
The court declared the detention of the PTI AJK leader null and void. During the hearing, Justice Asjad Javed Ghural inquired about the grounds for Mohiuddin’s detention from the Punjab government’s lawyer, who responded that the request was fixed for hearing.
The court expressed dissatisfaction with the Punjab government’s response and subsequently ordered the release of Ghulam Mohiuddin.
The petition for his release was filed by his wife. Earlier, several PTI Members of National Assembly (MNAs) were released from a sub-jail after a judicial magistrate issued their release orders.
Sher Afzal Marwat, Sheikh Waqas Akram, Shah Ahad, Naseem Shah, and Owais Ahmed Chatta were released from parliament lodges, which had been designated as a sub-jail for the detained PTI lawmakers.
Several PTI MNAs, including party chairman Barrister Gohar, were arrested by Islamabad police following ‘approval’ from National Assembly Speaker Ayaz Sadiq. Barrister Gohar and Sher Afzal Marwat were apprehended outside, while Zain Qureshi and Sheikh Waqas Akram were taken into custody from inside the Parliament House.
