ISLAMABAD     -    Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) 
Chairman Imran Khan and PTI 
lawyers Babar Awan and Faisal Fareed Monday filed their 
replies in pursuant of the Supreme Court order.
In his reply, Imran Khan informed the court that ‘he was 
not aware of any statement or 
undertaking having been made 
on his or PTI senior leadership’s 
behalf on May 25’ regarding 
holding of protest at D-Chowk, 
Islamabad.
A five-member bench of the 
apex court headed by Chief Justice of Justice Umar Ata Bandial 
will take up the matter on 2nd 
November. The bench on October 26 had sought replies from 
Imran Khan, and the PTI lawyers Babar Awan and Faisal Fareed on the agencies’ reports 
and the federal government’s 
allegations that PTI breached 
its undertaking given to Court 
on May 25 not to hold a protest, 
at D-Chowk, Islamabad.
 Imran, who filed the statement through Advocate Salman 
Akram Raja sought time until 
November 3 to file reply in light of the factual detail contained in

the reports of the agencies, Islamabad police and the Attorney General for Pakistan.
He submitted that neither the 
senior leadership of the PTI nor 
he was aware of the apex court 
25th May order not to hold protest at D Chowk. He stated that 
he holds the august court in 
the highest regard and “that no 
question arises of his knowingly 
violating an undertaking made 
before the Court or not obeying 
an order made by this Court.”
Babar Awan in his reply stated, “I was neither a party in constitutional petition nor criminal 
original of the federal government. I was conveyed court’s 
call through Faisal Fareed, while 
I was doing a case before the Islamabad High Court.” “Thus as a 
senior counsel of the court, I appeared to assist this apex court 
on call,” he added.
He submitted that according 
to the agencies and IGP Islamabad, attorney general for Pakistan’s reports neither any allegation is levelled against him 
nor even his name is mentioned 
in all the reports. Therefore, the 
verbal blame raised by the law 
officer, in any, have no credence 
at all.
“The name of Imran Khan 
was neither mentioned by both 
the counsels appearing at the 
court’s call, nor it is referred in 
the order dated 25-05-2022. Instead the word use is top leadership,” he further wrote.
He added that the court directed Secretary Ministry of Interior, Inspector General of Police Islamabad and the Punjab 
as well as Deputy Commissioner Attock to facilitate our meeting with Imran Khan as he was 
stuck in Attock and his procession was under heavy shelling. 
But this order was not complied 
by the government’s side.
Awan maintained, “As a senior advocate, I showed reverence and respect to this court 
by putting my personal security 
at risk by 10 at night and went 
to the premises for the meeting 
of the Committee, which was 
constituted and is referred in 
paragraph No.7 and 8 of the order dated 25-05-2022. But none 
turned up from the government’s side to honour the order 
at the time fixed by this court.”
Faisal Fareed submitted with 
utmost respect that he was 
neither a party in Const. P. 
No.19/2022 nor he has been arrayed as party in the Crl. Org. P. 
No.148/2022. It is also important to set the record straight 
that neither the PTI nor its leaders were either party nor represented by the undersigned. The 
undersigned took up the labour 
on court’s call.
The Islamabad High Court Bar 
Association had filed the petition on May 25, 2022 and the 
answering respondent along 
with other bar members, were 
also present in the court room 
in solidarity, with his Bar President Shoaib Shaheen/the petitioner. During the proceedings, 
he was called on the rostrum by 
the bench and he was further 
directed to seek instructions 
from PTI leadership.
He added that in due reverence to this Court and pursuant to its instructions, answering respondent tried to 
establish contact with leadership but he was unable to contact with any senior leader, including his brother, Fawad 
Chaudhry. Meanwhile he came 
to know that Babar Awan Senior Counsel was appearing 
before the IHC and he immediately rushed to the High Court 
and appraised Awan regarding 
the situation.
Meanwhile Asad Umar the 
General Secretary PTI was contacted and he was informed 
about the hearing and court instructions. That following instructions from him, Dr. Babar 
Awan, accordingly informed 
the Court that the venue which 
was provided for the rally of 
JUI(F) sometimes ago, being the 
ground/area between H-9 and 
G-9 should be made available to 
PTI, also to hold its rally.
