Objection to plea for Imran's parole stays

The Islamabad High Court on Friday issued its written order on a petition filed by Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur for release of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan on parole, saying that the objections raised by the Registrar Office were still unaddressed. CM Gandapur had moved the application for the release of Imran, who had been convicted in the £190 million case, could be targeted by Indian drones while in Adiala jail. The petition was heard by the IHC Acting Chief Justice Sardar Sarfaraz Dogar. The Registrar Office raised the objections that application was not filed by the convict himself and asked how could such a relief be sought for another person. Second, the office said that the person for whom the relief was sought had not been made party to the case. Imran was convicted in the reference moved by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB). The Registrar Office also said that in the petition, Nab had also not been made a party to the case, in the application for the parole release of a convicted person.
