With the Islamabad High Court (IHC) set to initiate contempt proceedings against PTI chief Imran Khan today for passing controversial remarks regarding a female judge, the capital’s advocate general, Jahangir Jadoon, has sought permission to put on record the former prime minister’s statements allegedly against the judiciary and other institutions in court.
In his application, a copy of which is available with Dawn.com, Jadoon said he wanted to place relevant material “like videos, clips and previous statements of the respondents (Imran) on electronic and digital media on record, which are helpful” for the case.
The Islamabad advocate general said he wanted to seek permission to “display different statement of the respondents on different occasion against the judiciary and other institution (sic) .
“In these circumstances, it is humbly prayed that [the court] allow to display the aforementioned material in this honourable court via USB or other digital gadgets, and consider this material as part of the case,” he said in his application.
The advocate general has filed the application on the state’s behalf.
