LAHORE: An Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) in Lahore declared Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan’s Zaman Park residence search warrant “Ineffective”. ATC Judge Abhar Gul Khan announced reserved verdict on PTI Chief’s plea, noting that one-time search warrants are not for forever. As proceedings commenced, Commissioner Lahore, DC Lahore and other officials appeared before ATC judge Abhar Gull’s court. Former Prime Minister had moved Lahore’s Anti-Terrorism Court requesting cancellation of search warrants for his Zaman Park residence.

Imran Khan had named state, Lahore commissioner, DIG operations Lahore, SSP operations Lahore and others as respondents in petition. In his plea, Imran Khan maintained that law enforcement officials acquired search warrants with malicious intent.

“It is most respectfully prayed that search warrant relating to petitioner’s house situated at Zaman Park, Lahore may kindly be set-aside which lacks requisite legal parameters for valid warrant in interest of justice and fair play,” he said in his plea.

It is pertinent to mention here that police obtained search warrant for Imran Khan’s Zaman Park residence from ATC on May 18.
