The case resumed hearing on Wednesday in the Attock Jail as his 14-day remand ended. Judge Abu Alhasnaat Zulqurnain arrived at the jail early on Wednesday.
The Ministry of Law and Justice issued a notification allowing the hearing to be held at the Attock Jail on the court’s request. The request was made for ‘security reasons’.
Imran Khan’s legal team considering of nine lawyers was also allowed into the jail.
On Tuesday, the Islamabad High Court reserved judgement in a petition filed by Imran Khan against the hearing being held in jail.
Imran Khan’s lawyer had argued that a trial can only be shifted to another province by the Supreme Court and not through the orders of a chief commissioner.
Imran has also applied for bail in the case but proceedings on September 7 ended without result as the judge was on leave.
