The court rules that imposing punishment on the accused and further trial would be a waste of time; therefore, the acquittal requests of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's founders, Asad Umar, and Raja Khurram Shahzad Nawaz are accepted.
ISLAMABAD: (UrduPoint/UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News-Feb 28th, 2024) The District and Sessions Courts of Islamabad on May 9th dismissed and acquitted Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf founder Imran Khan, Asad Umar, and Faisal Javed in cases related to vandalism.

During the hearing, lawyers including Amina Ali, Sardar Masroor Khan, and Mohsin Ghafoor appeared in court.
According to the decision, separate acquittal requests under section 249 were submitted by the accused. The court ruled that imposing punishment on the accused and further trial would be a waste of time; therefore, the acquittal requests of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's founders, Asad Umar, and Raja Khurram Shahzad Nawaz are accepted.
It also ruled that imposing punishment on the accused and further trial would be a waste of time.
The court held that the acquittal requests of Imran Khan, Asad Umar, Raja Khurram Shahzad Nawaz, Ali Nawaz Awan, Faisal Javed, Abid Hussain, and Zaheer Khan are accepted.
According to the decision of the Islamabad District and Sessions Courts, the accused Asad Umar, Ali Nawaz Awan and Faisal Javed were on bail.
“They can withdraw their bail bonds after acquittal,” held the court.
