00:00 It was a day full of news.
00:02 The thing is that as we speak,
00:06 Imran Khan is behind bars because of two cases.
00:10 One is the Saifar case and the other is the Iddat-Mein-Nikah case.
00:14 The possibility of a Nikah case was being increased.
00:17 The verdict of which was already secured on 23rd,
00:19 is now final and the verdict will be heard.
00:23 The case started and Mr. Khawar Manekar,
00:26 whose lawyer is Mr. Reza Allahbhai, has not come on time.
00:31 The brief story is that the verdict of that case was not heard today.
00:36 Why? Let me tell you.
00:38 The question is how long will it take?
00:40 Has this case gone to another court?
00:42 Which was Mr. Khawar Manekar's intention today.
00:45 I don't want you to hear this case, Mr. Shahrukh Arjuman.
00:50 So, if it is accepted, what will happen to this case?
00:55 First, let's quickly talk about our correspondent, Mr. Farooq Hijaz,
00:57 who was present there with us.
01:00 Anyway, the court also faced a situation.
01:04 Mr. Khawar Manekar unexpectedly came to Rostam himself.
01:08 When he spoke, it was reported that he spoke harshly
01:13 in relation to Mr. Khan.
01:14 He used very harsh language.
01:17 And when this was happening, the women who were sitting there
01:20 started shouting in shame. This happened in the court.
01:23 This doesn't happen usually.
01:25 And he spoke about it.
01:27 Mr. Farooq Hijaz, I am done. Let's quickly ask him
01:30 what happened today and what is likely to happen in future.
01:32 Then, we will talk to Mr. Khan's legal team and other people.
01:38 - Farooq, greetings. - Greetings.
01:41 Please tell us quickly to sum up today's proceedings.
01:47 I have told you that the verdict will be heard today as expected.
01:49 Then, Mr. Khawar Manekar came to the court.
01:51 He spoke harshly and the women of PTA started shouting in shame.
01:55 If this is true, do you agree?
01:56 And then, quickly sum up.
01:59 Yes, the case was to be decided today.
02:02 But the court issued a written decision on the last hearing.
02:06 The lawyer of Mr. Khawar Manekar, Raja Rizwan Abbasi,
02:09 was given another chance.
02:11 He had gone abroad.
02:12 So, he was given a chance to give evidence today.
02:16 So, he can give evidence today.
02:17 The time was fixed at 9 o'clock.
02:19 But Raja Rizwan Abbasi did not reach the court at 9 o'clock.
02:22 After that, the court adjourned till 10.30.
02:24 When Rizwan Abbasi reached the court at 10.30,
02:28 he started giving evidence.
02:30 Mr. Khawar Manekar reached the court in a short time
02:33 and then came to the rostrum.
02:34 He said that...
02:36 And it was unexpected.
02:37 People were not expecting that Mr. Khawar would come.
02:38 Is that right?
02:39 Yes, that is right.
02:41 If we look at the previous hearings,
02:43 Mr. Khawar Manekar came to the court without a lawyer.
02:47 And he was denied confidence in the court.
02:49 And today, Khawar Manekar came to the court unexpectedly.
02:54 And he asked the court to give him a chance to speak.
02:57 The court also told him to speak through his lawyer.
03:01 But Khawar Manekar said that he wanted to speak himself.
03:03 And he said some inappropriate things about Bani PTI.
03:08 The PTI staff who were present there were also protested against.
03:12 They also protested.
03:13 And we saw the reaction of the staff
03:15 after the hearing was over.
03:16 They also came forward to press charges against Khawar Manekar.
03:19 And on behalf of Khawar Manekar,
03:21 they also expressed their distrust in the court.
03:23 The court also questioned them
03:26 as to why they were expressing their distrust.
03:28 And Khawar Manekar said that
03:30 he has lost confidence in the courts
03:33 and that Allah and His Messenger will decide this case.
03:36 However, on his behalf,
03:37 they also demanded that this case be transferred to another court.
03:41 However, Judge Shahrukh Arjuman said
03:43 that it is not his authority to transfer the case to another court.
03:47 It is the authority of the High Court
03:49 to transfer the case to another court.
03:51 So, what happened now?
03:52 Has the case been transferred to another court or not?
03:55 Before that, let me tell you that the Bani PTI staff
03:58 said that they have complete confidence in the court
04:01 and that the court should decide this case.
04:02 However, the judge said that
04:06 if the decision is made after a lack of confidence,
04:08 then it will be controversial.
04:09 After saying this, the judge left the courtroom
04:12 and wrote a letter to the Islamabad High Court.
04:15 In the letter, it was said that
04:16 Khawar Manekar has been expressed his distrust in the court
04:21 and that the request for Khawar Manekar's distrust
04:24 has been postponed to 30 April 2024.
04:27 And it will not be appropriate to make a decision
04:29 on the presiding officer after a lack of confidence.
04:31 Therefore, in the letter, he has requested the Islamabad High Court
04:35 to transfer these two appeals to another court.
04:39 However, in this letter, it has also been said
04:43 that the complainant, Khawar Manekar and his lawyer
04:46 have tried to delay the proceedings of this case on various grounds.
04:51 In addition, it has also been suggested
04:53 that if the Islamabad High Court wants,
04:54 then a time frame can be set to postpone these appeals.
04:58 So, this letter was written to the Islamabad High Court.
05:00 Now, the Islamabad High Court has to decide
05:03 whether it will transfer the judge or not.
05:04 It is possible that the Islamabad High Court says
05:07 that you should give a safe decision
05:09 and that the case should be transferred to another court
05:12 and that the case should be postponed to 30 April 2024.
05:13 Are these two possibilities?
05:14 Yes, absolutely.
05:15 Now, the Islamabad High Court has to decide
05:17 that it should give a safe decision to the judge Shahrukh Arjuman.
05:20 Because the letter that was written,
05:22 it has also been said that the arguments have been completed to a large extent.
05:26 Therefore, the Islamabad High Court can give a direction
05:30 that the decision on these petitions should be made within this time frame.
05:35 I am telling you one last time, Farooq.
05:37 Was there a situation where he was about to announce the decision, the judge,
05:42 but the situation in the court was such that there was a fight
05:46 that he just left without giving a verdict. Did this happen?
05:49 Yes, there was a fight because the remarks that came from Khawar Manika
05:55 were very much criticized because they were made against Vughla
05:58 and the women workers who were present there were also criticized.
06:03 Okay, thank you very much, Farooq.
06:04 Thank you, Mr. Abed Nawaz, and all the guests.
06:07 Mr. Khawar Manika is with us today,
06:10 after the court hearing.
