ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) has made a significant ruling, ordering the authorities to release Shah Mahmood Qureshi, the Vice Chairman of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party. This decision came after Qureshi’s lawyers submitted an affidavit before the IHC, providing crucial information and arguments in support of his release.
Justice Mian Gul Aurangzeb, presiding over the case, has made it clear that Qureshi’s release is contingent upon the submission of the aforementioned affidavit. This requirement highlights the court’s emphasis on due process and adherence to legal procedures.
Consequently, Shah Mahmood Qureshi is set to be released today, marking a significant development in his legal battle. The decision comes after careful consideration of the evidence presented and the arguments put forth by Qureshi’s legal team.
In a related development, the Islamabad High Court had previously issued a notice to the Inspector General of Police and the Secretary of the Interior, requesting detailed information about the cases against Shah Mahmood Qureshi and the status of his protective bail petition.

During the court proceedings, Chief Justice Aamir Farooq presided over the case and set a deadline of May 24 for the submission of detailed information regarding the cases against Qureshi, as well as the bail petition filed by Mehar Bano Qureshi, the petitioner’s daughter.
To ensure a comprehensive and fair assessment of the situation, Shah Mahmood Qureshi’s daughter appeared before the court accompanied by her legal representatives. This display of support and representation demonstrates the seriousness with which the case is being pursued and the commitment to upholding justice.
The release of Shah Mahmood Qureshi, a prominent figure in Pakistani politics, following the court’s order is expected to have wide-ranging implications. It serves as a testament to the importance of a robust legal system that prioritizes fundamental rights and due process.
