KARACHI: The Sindh High Court (SHC) on Thursday ordered that no cases should be registered against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) Senator Azam Swati in the province any more in the controversial tweets case.
At the outset of the hearing, Inspector General of Sindh Police Ghulam Nabi Memon apologised to the court for his comments during the previous appearance.
Meanwhile, Sindh Prosecutor General Faiz Shah informed the SHC that Swati’s custody has been given to Islamabad Police. He also added that the cases registered against the senator have been categorised as “C-class”.
“All applications are now ineffective,” said the government lawyer, adding that the cases were registered by private citizens.
“According to law, the statement of these persons was bound to be recorded,” he added.
At this, Justice Karim Khan Agha lauded the Sindh government and IG Memon for resolving the “problem”.
The court then directed that no further FIR should be registered against Azam Swati in the case. It added that multiple cases were registered against Swati in different areas of the province on a single charge.
The court also directed that the C class report should also be submitted to the concerned courts in three days.
The court then disposed of the petitions filed by Usman Swati — PTI senator’s son.
