The three-judge bench headed by Justice Sardar Tariq Masood kept the previous ruling of the Lahore High Court that the petitioner is entitled to a pre-conviction period in detention and general remissions under the Army Act, 1952 of Pakistan, The Dawn reported.
The Lahore High court dismisses a petition against the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf party's long march filed by the All Pakistan Traders Association. A sessions court also dismissed another petition at Faisalabad charging PTI Chief Imran Khan of defaming the Army, The Dawn reported.
Due to the surge in the number of housing societies in the city and massive business activities, the incidents of the land mafia occupying the properties of the landowners by unlawful means have resulted in crimes in Lahore, increasing fear among locals.
Citing the same report, the Dawn newspaper last month said that the number of these addicts is increasing at the rate of 40,000 per year, making Pakistan one of the most drug-affected countries in the world.
He leveled the allegation while addressing the long march from his Lahore residence, The News International newspaper reported. Khan claimed that Shehbaz violated the country's Official Secrecy Act by consulting his elder brother, Nawaz Sharif on the new COAS appointment.
Sharif, 70, was allowed to leave for London in 2019 after the Lahore High Court granted him permission to go abroad for medical treatment. He has since been in the UK and commanded the reigns of the party from there.
In a press conference in Lahore, Imran Khan said, "Punjab Police said they are ready to register FIR against Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah but not against DG (C) ISI Faisal Naseer."
On Thursday, Imran Khan was attacked near his container in Punjab province during his long march in Wazirabad. He sustained injuries on his leg and was shifted to a hospital for treatment.
Lahore and Rawalpindi jails have over 25 per cent of prisoners prone to drug addiction, according to a report by the National Commission of Human Rights (NCHR).
