During the hearing, PTI Chief’s lawyer Barrister Salman Safdar appeared in the court and contended that the objection related to bio-metric verification shouldn’t be imposed on individuals above the age of 60. At this, Justice Farooq remarked that the bio-metric verification had become very easy now.
Barrister Salman Safdar maintained that they had acquired Khan’s protective bail from Lahore High Court (LHC) after which they arrived at the judicial complex but they weren’t allowed to move further. He said that more FIRs against Imran Khan were lodged that day.
At this, Chief Justice Aamer Farooq asked the lawyer to clarify why had they bypassed a forum to reach Islamabad High Court. He asked, “why didn’t you go to the trial court first when you have to go there ultimately.”
At this, Barrister Salman Safdar maintained that he would present Supreme Court’s judgements in this regard.
