In a significant development, Judicial Magistrate Shaista Kundi of Islamabad accepted the plea of acquittal in two cases related to the vandalism during the long march of the PTI founder.
During the hearing, Lawyer Naeem Panjutha requested the court to summon the PTI founder. However, Judge Shaista Kundi emphasized discussing the plea of acquittal first, expressing concerns about the founder’s appearance in court.
Despite arguments from Lawyer Naeem Panjotha, the court rejected the request to produce the PTI founder in court, highlighting the necessity of attendance on bail rather than application production.
The plea of acquittal was supported by Lawyer Naeem Panjotha, who argued that the cases lacked substantial evidence against the PTI founder. He pointed out discrepancies in the registration of the cases and emphasized the founder’s previous acquittals in similar cases.
This development marks a significant victory for the PTI founder, with the court’s decision to acquit in the face of legal challenges.
