IHC judge softens tone on colleagues over Imran case transfer

ISLAMABAD: The transfer of a case regarding ex-PM Imran Khan’s jail rights, which triggered a controversy a day earlier, toned down on Thursday when Justice Sardar Ejaz Ishaq Khan of the Islamabad High Court (IHC) ruled out any collision with the fellow judges and adjourned the hearing in contempt proceeding until after the Eid vacations.

Justice Ishaq Khan resumed hearing in the contempt case that had star­ted following the sudden transfer of PTI lawyer Mashal Yousafazi’s petition to the larger bench without his consent.
