DC has no authority to issue detention order under MPO 3, rules IHC

F.P. Report

ISLAMABAD: The Islambad High Court (IHC) rules the deputy commissioner has no authority to issue detention order under 3MPO.

During hearing of case of PTI leaders Sheryar Afridi and Shandana Gulzar’s detention under MPO 3, Justice Babar Sattar announced the reserved verdict after accepting the appeals of the petitioners.

The judge said the Islamabad deputy commissioner had no authority to issue detention order under MPO 3 as only the federal cabinet should have the authority to do so.

The IHC disposed of the petition of the two PTI leaders declaring Section 18 of the 1980 Act as illegal.
