The founder of PTI, Imran Khan, has been ordered to appear through a video link from the Adial prison for the next hearing, since the Anti -Terrorist Court (ATC) postponed the attack case of the General Headquarters (GHQ) to October 1.
The development occurred after the Punjab government formally withdrew its notification for holding a trial in the prison in the case.
Chaired by ATC Amjad Ali Shah judge, the court issued a summons for three witnesses to appear at the next hearing and instructed that Challan copies are distributed in another 11 cases of May 9 on the same day.
Former Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi, will also attend through a video link from Lahore prison.
The notification of the Department of Origin that withdrew the prison trial was presented in the Court by the public prosecutor Ikram Ameen Minhas, after a request from the Khan legal team.
The audience of the GHQ attack case has been postponed until September 19 and the procedures in the other 11 cases of May will resume from October 1.
The GHQ attack case had stagnated for three months.

The Court ordered all the defendants to guarantee assistance on October 1, including KP Prime Minister Ali Amin Gandapur. PTI leaders, Umar Ayub, Shibli Faraz, Sartaj Gul and Kanwal Shauzb did not appear despite the arrest orders, and the procedures have begun to declare them to proclaimed criminals.
GHQ attack
An anti -terrorism court (ATC) in December 2024 accused former Prime Minister Imran Khan and other PTI leaders in relation to the attack of May 9, 2023 against the General Headquarters (GHQ).
Earlier this year, Imran Khan was arrested in the case of GHQ attack, shortly after his release order was issued in the Cypher case.
Express News obtained a copy of the GHQ Attack case, describing 27 severe positions against Imran Khan and other accused people.
The report alleges that, under the leadership of former provincial law minister, Raja Basharat, the defendant assaulted the GHQ door, causing significant damage to property despite the fact that military personnel warned that it is warned.
It is also alleged that the defendants divided into sensitive areas of GHQ, put fires, threw gasoline bombs and created chaos inside the facilities.
According to the report, the songs like “No Pakistan without Khan” and “behind this terrorism is the uniform” supposedly raised, attacking military personnel and attacking the reputation of the armed forces of Pakistan.
The investigation report establishes that the attacks were also carried out in sensitive ISI and GHQ offices, characterizing the protest as a criminal conspiracy.
