Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman and former prime minister Imran Khan has requested the Supreme Court (SC) to fix a hearing for his audio leaks petition “at the earliest possible opportunity”.
The request was made in a letter submitted to the court and addressed to all judges, including the Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Umar Ata Bandial on Monday.
The letter, which was shared on the party’s official Twitter account, urged the top court to address the matter immediately, as the constitutional petition had been filed in October 2021.
The party Twitter handle tweeted, “Unconfirmed audio/video leaks continued to surface one after another,” and added that Imran Khan had presented eight important questions to the CJP and judges of the SC regarding the matter.
The former premier claimed that the “constitutional guarantees afforded to the people of Pakistan are being violated with impunity”.
He referred to the case of Senator Azam Swati, who had “suffered from the worst kind of invasion of privacy possible”.
