The vehicles of Sheikh Rashid were confiscated illegally, rules IHC
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - The Islamabad High Court has ordered police to return all the vehicles of Awami Muslim League (AML) chief Sheikh Rashid, which were seized without any solid reason.
The court allowed the intra-court appeal of former federal minister and nullified the earlier decision of single bench.
The Islamabad High Court (IHC) remarked that the vehicles of Sheikh Rashid were illegally confiscated.
The vehicles should be returned at the place where they were seized, the court ordered.
The written order was issued by Justice Miangul Hasan Aurangzeb and Justice Arbab Muhammad Tahir.
In its verdict, the court ruled that the seized vehicles were not used in the crime and police confiscated the vehicles to exert pressure on Rashid.
“The legal procedure wasn’t followed when the vehicles of Rashid were seized,” the IHC ruled.
