Court cancels Gandapur’s arrest warrants

ISLAMABAD:

 

A local court in Islamabad on Monday cancelled the arrest warrants of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur in a case pertaining to protest, and vandalising of the public property.

Judicial Magistrate Naveed Khan issued the order and adjourned hearing of the case against Gandapur till May 20.

Earlier, Gandapur had approached the District and Sessions Court of Islamabad to cancel the non-bailable arrest warrant in the long march and vandalism case.

The petition has stated that Gandapur never deliberately avoided appearance in the court. It was also stated in the application that Gandapur could not appear in the court due to his election engagements, and he apologised unconditionally for disobeying the court orders.
