The Islamabad High Court (IHC) has ordered the release of PTI Senator Ejaz Chaudhry and deemed his detention under the Maintenance of Public Order (MPO) Ordinance as invalid.

Justice Miangul Hassan issued the order for the release of the PTI leader, while hearing the plea submitted by his lawyer, Taimur Malik.

It was two weeks ago that Islamabad police had apprehended Chaudhry and several other PTI leaders under Section 3 of the MPO.
