The case hearing has been adjourned until July 21. The case pertains to the alleged recovery of liquor and illegal arms from the PTI leader in a previous incident.
Earlier during the proceedings, Gandapur’s lawyer presented a ruling from the Peshawar High Court, arguing that the Islamabad Sessions Court does not have the jurisdiction to issue arrest warrants for his client.
The counsel requested that the court schedule the next hearing in September, but the plea was denied.
It is worth mentioning that the case, filed at Islamabad’s Bara Kahu police station, alleged the recovery of illegal arms and liquor from Gandapur.
