Pak SC warns of summoning Imran Khan if detainee not produced
New Delhi, Jan 4 Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Justice Gulzar Ahmed has advised that the Supreme Court won’t vacillate to summon rime Minister Imran Khan if Arif Gull, detained at an immurement centre in Kohat since 2019, wasn’t produced before it on Tuesday, Dawn news reported.
Should we seal the courts if Arif Gull can not be produced?”the CJP queried during Monday’s hail.
Justice Gulzar headed a three- judge Supreme Court bench that had taken up a habeas corpus solicitation moved by a relative of Chump seeking information about his whereabouts.
But the court accepted a statement by Shumail Butt, the advocate general for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Fresh Attorney General Sajid Ilyas that it was insolvable to produce Gull on Monday due to the distance between Islamabad and Kohat.
Gull is facing an allegation of attacking the checkpost of a security force at Kandau, near the border with Afghanistan, in 2019 and since also he has been under detention at the Kohat immurement centre.
“Would the edifice of the Supreme Court deteriorate if Arif Gull is produced before the court? We should lock the court if the person can not be produced before it,”the CJP said.
Justice Ahmed told the advocate general the bar had the powers to summon the” entire defence ministry”if Gull wasn’t brought to the court.
