Imran Khan arrives at IHC for protective bail in several cases

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman and former prime minister Imran Khan has arrived at the Islamabad High Court (IHC) to seek protective bail in seven terrorism cases related to vandalism at the judicial complex.

Multiple cases were registered against the former prime minister at Islamabad’s Ramna, CTD and Golra police stations.

A video on PTI’s official Twitter showed the PTI chairman arriving in the court premises with huge contingent of Islamabad police surrounding his vehicles. PTI leaders Murad Saeed, Musarrat Cheema and others accompanied Imran.

The decision to appear before courts was earlier taken during a meeting presided over by Imran Khan himself, where he discussed the matter with party leadership and legal team. The meeting, which was held on Sunday, saw Imran Khan consulting with members of his party to finalize the plan for his court appearance.

It was decided that the PTI chief would travel to Islamabad on Monday morning to attend the hearing. Fawad Chaudhry already left for Islamabad with the party’s legal team.

Additionally, other central leaders of the PTI are expected to accompany Imran Khan to the court today.

— SSP to handle security arrangements —

Meanwhile, the Islamabad police tweeted that an important meeting was chaired by the inspector-general over the expected court appearance of Imran Khan to discuss security arrangements.

It was decided that field supervision of security arrangements will be taken care of by SSP Yasir Afridi.

Amir Kiyani has been entrusted with coordination on behalf of the PTI, while Malik Jameel Zafar will be the head of coordination between the police and PTI through Kiyani.

A central control room has been established at the Safe City Headquarters, the Islamabad police further shared.

Meanwhile, Section 144 is in force in Islamabad and violators will be arrested.

In light of court orders, only concerned persons will be allowed to enter the court premises, the police tweeted.

The Islamabad police expressed ignorance about the arrival of Imran Khan in the federal capital. In a tweet, a spokesman said the police would make security arrangements only in the light of the court’s orders.

Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has issued directives to implement concrete measures for the digitalization of land records across the province.

Presided over a crucial session focused on Board of Revenue reforms, CM Nawaz received a comprehensive briefing on the Punjab Urban Land Systems Enhancement (PULSE) project.

During the session, officials from the Punjab Land Record Authority and Management of State Land provided insights into the project’s business plan and execution strategies.

The digitalization of land records under the PULSE project is being undertaken with the support of the World Bank.

This ambitious initiative aims to digitize all land records in Punjab on an owner-based system, marking a significant step towards transparency and efficiency in revenue management.

Key highlights from the briefing include the categorization of land properties into clear, and disputed categories, denoted by green, yellow, and red respectively.

Each buyer will be assigned a unique property number, streamlining legal processes and reducing complications associated with property transactions.

The implementation of a transparent partition of land and parcel document system will enhance the transparency and fairness of revenue management.

The digitalization process will also simplify the Record of Rights (Fard) and property transfer system, ensuring accessibility and efficiency for citizens.

In a move to facilitate overseas Pakistanis, the government plans to introduce services such as overseas property transfer, mutation, registration, and e-survey.

CM Maryam Nawaz has underscored the importance of swift action and collaboration among relevant departments to expedite the digitalization of land records.

Provincial Information Minister Azma Bukhari, MPA Sania Ashiq, chief secretary, P&D chairman, SMU head and other officials attended the session.
