karachi: A Karachi court on Wednesday discharged Advocate Hassaan Khan Niazi, nephew of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan, in a case pertaining to inciting the public against security institutions.
Niazi had been shifted to the city on Tuesday afternoon after an anti-terrorism court in Lahore granted his two-day transit remand to the Sindh police in a case lodged at the Jamshed Quarters police station.
The investigating officer produced the lawyer before Judicial Magistrate (East) Sibghatullah requesting that his physical remand be granted for interrogation. The magistrate said the police apparently lodged the case under sedition charges on the complaint of a private person without fulfilling the legal procedure required under Section 196 (Prosecution for offences against the State) of the Criminal Procedure Code.
Moreover, he added, the FIR was lodged on March 26 but the SSP Investigation-I (East) sought permission from the home department in this regard on March 28.
