Cipher audio leak scandal
\n LAHORE
\nThe Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Lahore has submitted its reply to the Lahore High Court (LHC) regarding Imran Khan\u2019s summons in Cipher Audio Leak Scandal.
\nEarlier, the LHC had restricted the FIA from harassing PTI chief Imran Khan and ordered the FIA and other parties to submit their responses at the next hearing.
\nIn this connection, the FIA submitted a four-page reply saying that the plea of PTI\u2019s chief Imran Khan\u2019s plea is inadmissible. \u201cHigh Court cannot \u2014 assume the role of investigator. This could obviously not be done, for the authority to register and investigate a criminal case in law vests in the police and not in court,\u201d said the FIA.
\nThe TLTP learnt that the FIA in its reply requested the court that Imran Khan should be directed to join the cipher inquiry. It says that the petitioner is deliberately avoiding the process of law by not joining the inquiry proceedings, thus, the conduct of the present petitioner is ultra vires and amounts to halting the lawful enquiry proceedings of FIA. The instant petition, therefore, merits to be dismissed, as the act of Imran Khan tantamount to hampering the administration of criminal justice.
\nIt also requested to dismiss the petition against Imran Khan\u2019s summons. It further contended that FIA had sent notice to Imran as per law.
\nThe FIA pleaded to the court it may be clarified that FIA is not relying its enquiry proceedings merely upon the audio recording pointed out by the petitioner. \u201cThe inquiry team (JIT) is taking into consideration other aspects of the matter- evidences available on record are also being considered, it adds.<\/p>\n
The answer further reads that the matter is of a sensitive nature, so the FIA formed an inquiry committee. \u201cThis matter is under the jurisdiction of Islamabad.\u201d TLTP <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
