The lawyer adopted the stance that the illegal and desperate acts of the respondents are in clear violation of due process enshrined under Article 4, Article 9, Article 10 A and Article 25 of the Constitution.

He further said that it is the constitutional right of the petitioner to be informed about all the cases in which her brother has been implicated so they can defend themselves in the court of law. The counsel contended that the Respordent’s actions are tainted with malice and a series of political victimization and the Petitioner has no alternate remedy except to invoke the jurisdiction of this court for the redressal of their grievances. Therefore, he prayed to the court that in light of the peculiar facts and aforementioned circumstances, the respondents may kindly be directed to furnish a fresh complete report/ list of criminal cases along with the current status and record wherein Imran Ahmad Khan Niazi has been implicated and respondents may kindly be restrained from making instantaneous arrest of Imran Ahmad Khan Niazi in any undisclosed and concealed cases without permission of this court.
