Top leaders of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), including Imran Khan, the party’s founder, and his wife Bushra Bibi, are facing charges related to their alleged participation in the violent demonstrations on November 24.

The protest was found to have violated anti-terrorism regulations, leading to the first legal action after the disturbances at the Taxila police station.

In addition to major PTI members including opposition leader Omar Ayub, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur, PTI’s Aleema Khan, and Senator Azam Swati, the case, which is lodged under multiple accusations, names over 300 people. The court document also names Shehryar Riaz and Taimur Masood as other leaders.

During their altercations with the police, demonstrators damaged government property, including cars and motorcycles, according to the accusation.

Another disturbing charge against the accused is the kidnapping and torture of a police driver who was allegedly detained by demonstrators before being freed.

Section 144 breach, interference with government activities, and damage to both public and private property are among the charges in the case, which is designated as No. 2594.

It is also alleged that the demonstrators caused major disturbances by obstructing roads and igniting unrest with sizable crowds.

On November 24, convoys departed for Islamabad as part of the PTI’s continuing campaign, which included the protests.

From Khyber, the convoy reached Punjab under the leadership of Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur.

PTI requested additional documents to be submitted in the May 9 judicial commission creation case.

A five-member constitutional bench led by Justice Amin-ud-Din Khan heard Hamid Khan’s arguments about the petition that PTI founder Imran Khan had filed.

Justice Khan asked the attorney what the petition’s client had asked for. According to Advocate Khan, the petitioner asked for the creation of a judicial commission to look into the May 9 incident. The commission would include the Chief Justice and two senior Supreme Court judges. Another aim, he added, was to prevent civilian trials in military courts.

The plea for civilians to be tried in military courts had already become infructuous, according to Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar, because a separate case was already pending on the subject.

He questioned the attorney on whether Article 184, Clause 3 of the Constitution could be applied to the question of creating a judicial commission. In response, Advocate Khan stated that although the May 9 occurrence was a national tragedy, no judicial investigation had been conducted.

In the issue concerning civilian trials in military tribunals, Justice Mazhar questioned him about whether he had requested the creation of a judicial panel. Hamid Khan gave a negative response.

The petition stated that hundreds of civilians had been slain on May 9, said Justice Jamal Khan Mandokhail. The justice asked the attorney if they had included the death certificate of any of the people slain with the petition.

He was asked by Justice Khan if any FIRs had been registered or if any private complaints had been made about civilian deaths.

Instead, media reports about the May 9 civilian deaths may have been provided, according to Justice Hassan Azhar Rizvi.

The bench thereafter postponed the hearing indefinitely and gave PTI extra time to present further papers.
