ATC Moves GHQ Attack Trial Into Final Phase After Rejecting Bid to Pause

The Rawalpindi court is pressing ahead under video‑link provisions as it sets September 30 for the final three prosecution witnesses.

Overview

  • Judge Amjad Ali Shah recorded three more testimonies on Saturday, bringing the total to 44 prosecution witnesses heard in the case.
  • The court dismissed a petition to halt video‑link proceedings, citing the 2023 Qanoon‑e‑Shahadat amendment and noting the trial will continue unless the Punjab transfer notification is suspended.
  • Defence lawyers protested that Imran Khan could not properly see or hear witnesses via video link and staged a walkout over connectivity issues.
  • The court issued a notice on the defence request to recall eight earlier witnesses for re‑examination.
  • Prosecution witnesses submitted physical exhibits including sticks, flags, a police helmet, a lighter, and broken parts of a military statue, and referenced a PTI leaders’ meeting at the Chakri Interchange.
