In its detailed order on the arrest of the PTI chief on the premises of the Islamabad High Court (IHC) on May 9, the Supreme Court stated that granting relief to a suspect was a routine practise “to enforce his fundamental rights of access to justice and liberty by ensuring his unobstructed access to a competent court.”
On Friday night, the Supreme Court issued a lengthy order outlining the reasons for releasing the PTI head.
The Supreme Court also cautioned law enforcement authorities against detaining someone within the confines of a court, especially after they have surrendered.
