The court has directed the lawyers of the parties in the case to continue arguments in the next hearing.

When the hearing began, Chairman PTI Imran Khan appeared in the court along with his lawyer Babar Awan.

Lawyer Babar Awan said in his arguments that Imran Khan did not threaten anyone in his statement, but he said that we would take action and action was taken and the order of Additional Judge Ziba Chaudhry was also challenged.

Babar Awan said that the people who have been used in the FIR are not the plaintiffs of the three, IG Islamabad, DIG Islamabad and Additional Judge Ziba Chaudhry. While this complaint has been filed by another magistrate.

The court inquired whether a public prosecutor was in the courtroom, which was told that a preliminary hearing was still being held and the state had not yet received notice.
