A two-member bench headed by IHC Chief Justice Athar Minallah heard a petition filed by Imran Khan, who has requested the court to quash the terror case against him.
Justice Minallah told Imran Khan that if he failed to join the police probe the court will not hear the case.
The Islamabad advocate general informed the court that the police investigation officer (IO) was not being allowed access to Imran Khan.
Justice Minallah said that Imran Khan will have to join the probe. It is vital to give respect to policemen wearing uniforms, he said adding that even if the police do something wrong you have to respect the uniform.
The investigation officer was told to justify the registration of the case on the next hearing before submitting a challan, or police report.
The bench barred the IO from submitting a challan until then.
The case registered on the complaint of a magistrate made international headlines last month.
