A Lahore High Court (LHC) division bench headed by Justice Tariq Saleem Sheikh issued notices to the Punjab advocate general and prosecutor, seeking reply by Wednesday to pleas filed by PTI founding chairman Imran Khan against his 10-day physical remand in 12 cases of May 9 riots.
As the proceedings commenced, the applicant's counsel stated that it is mandatory to produce the accused person before the court for seeking further remand but in this case the condition had not been fulfilled. The counsel said accused had not been produced before the court.
Justice Anwaarul Haq Pannun asked the counsel if they were saying that the accused should have been produced before the court.
The counsel argued that the accused could only be seen through video link but was not physically present before the court. They argued that as per the constitution, the physical appearance is mandatory for the remand.
