PTI Chairman Imran Khan has filed a plea with Lahore’s anti-terrorism court, requesting the revocation of search warrants for his Zaman Park residence issued on May 18.

In the plea, Imran Khan named the state, commissioner of Lahore, DIG operations Lahore, SSP operations Lahore, and others as respondents. He alleged that the law enforcement officials acquired the search warrants with a malicious intent.

“It is most respectfully prayed that the search warrant relating to petitioner’s house situated at Zaman Park, Lahore may kindly be set-aside /cancelled/recalled being illegal, unlawful, inappropriate which lacks the requisite legal parameters for a valid warrant in the interest of justice and fair play,” he said in his plea, a copy of which is available with Dawn.com.

Imran further urged the court to take strict action against the respondents and deal with them severely for “their unlawful and illegal misuse of authority under the pretext of the search warrant”.
