ISLAMABAD: Justice Arbab Mohammad Tahir of the Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Thursday disposed of the petition of Hassan Khan Niazi, nephew of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan seeking details of cases registered against him in Islamabad.
The police informed the court that Niazi is facing four cases registered against him in three different police stations.
As per the police’s report, one of the cases was registered in the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) of Islamabad. The court disposed of the petition after perusal of the report.
