Court Orders Arrest of Ali Amin Gandapur in Illegal Arms Case

The District and Sessions Court in Islamabad has issued arrest warrants for Ali Amin Gandapur in connection with a case involving the recovery of illegal arms and liquor. The court has directed SSP Operations to arrest and produce him before the court by January 21.

The case, overseen by Judicial Magistrate Mubashir Hassan Chishti, was marred by the absence of both the accused and key individuals involved in the proceedings.

Court Expresses Frustration Over Absences

During the hearing, neither Ali Amin Gandapur nor his lawyer, Raja Zahoor-ul-Hassan Advocate, appeared in court. Adding to the court's frustration, the investigation officer also failed to attend the session.

The court expressed anger over the repeated non-appearance of the accused and emphasized the importance of ensuring accountability, regardless of position or influence. “The court’s orders must be respected, and justice will take its course,” remarked Judicial Magistrate Chishti.

Warrants Issued for Production

After noting the accused's continuous non-compliance, the court ordered the SSP Operations to take immediate action and ensure Gandapur’s presence in the next hearing, scheduled for January 21.

Background of the Case

The case pertains to the recovery of illegal arms and liquor, allegedly linked to Gandapur, who is a prominent political figure and former Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The legal proceedings have been ongoing, with repeated delays attributed to non-appearances.

Legal Implications

The issuance of arrest warrants is a significant development, underscoring the judiciary’s commitment to ensuring that even high-ranking individuals are not above the law. Legal experts note that failure to comply with court orders could lead to further legal repercussions for Gandapur.

Next Steps

The hearing has been adjourned to January 21, with the court mandating the physical production of the accused. The developments in this high-profile case will be closely monitored as the judicial process unfolds.
