Court grants PTI chair exemption

Judicial Magistrate Shahzad Khan on Tuesday approved an exemption request for PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Khan in a case related to the violation of Section 144.

During the hearing of a case filed against PTI leaders, Barrister Gohar Khan submitted a request for exemption from court appearance, which was granted by the court.

The proceedings were adjourned without any progress on the defendants' pleas for acquittal.

Barrister Gohar Khan and others face two separate cases registered at Islamabad's I-9 police station. However, the court adjourned the hearing till March 3 for further arguments.
