As the court took up the case today, Justice Muhammad Qasim Khan asked Rizvi’s counsels if they had managed to procure a written guarantee from the TLP leader. The judge then asked whether Rizvi was willing to accept the said conditions in writing? The court wasn’t pleased with the counsel demeanour and said it is withdrawing its earlier offer and Rizvi’s case would be decided on merit. In February, the top court gave its verdict on the suo motu case over the Faizabad sit-in. The judgement directed the federal government, law enforcers, intelligence agencies and the army’s media wing to operate within their mandate.
