Marwat was arrested on December 14 outside the LHC while intending to join a protest. The PTI shared footage on social media, depicting police dragging him amid attempts by lawyers to intervene. He was subsequently detained under the MPO, a law allowing police to hold individuals considered a threat to public safety.
The arrest prompted strong criticism, leading Marwat's brother to file a petition seeking the quashing of the detention orders. The LHC issued notices, and today, the Punjab government responded, asserting that the petitioner should approach the relevant forum for Marwat's release. However, Justice Shehram Sarwar Chaudhry rejected this, ordering Marwat's release against surety bonds.
Marwat's release was announced on social media, with the PTI sharing a photo of him. Expressing gratitude, Marwat posted on X, thanking everyone involved. The written order emphasized Marwat's commitment to adhere to the law and the Constitution.
As a key figure in PTI and a counsel for former Prime Minister Imran Khan, Marwat gained attention for his fiery addresses. He recently accused the police of attempting to abduct him, leading the Peshawar High Court to issue orders preventing his arrest in cases filed against him. One such case in October involved allegations of inciting the public against state institutions through social media.
The release of Sher Afzal Marwat marks a significant chapter in the ongoing legal and political saga. As the situation unfolds, LegalMindPK will continue to provide updates and insights into the broader legal implications surrounding Marwat's case. Stay tuned for more developments in this dynamic legal landscape.
