The Islamabad High Court on Friday dismissed a Pakistani citizen's plea to stop the imminent release of the captured 온라인카지노 Air Force pilot Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman.
Pakistan Court Dismisses Plea To Stop The Release Of IAF Pilot Abhinandan Varthaman
Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on Thursday announced that the country will free 온라인카지노 Air Force (IAF) pilot Abhinandan Varthaman on Friday as a peace gesture amid escalating tensions between the two countries.
Pakistan detained the 온라인카지노 Air Force (IAF) pilot on Wednesday following a fierce engagement between air forces of the two sides along the Line of Control when his MiG 21 fighter jet was downed.
The Pakistan government on Thursday decided to release him as "a first step" to open negotiations with India to de-escalate tension after a terror attack by Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed left 40 CRPF personnel dead.
A Pakistani citizen had filed the petition in the Islamabad High Court (IHC) to stop the imminent release of Varthaman, saying he committed crime against the country and should be put on trial here.
The petition in the IHC sought the court's order to stop Prime Minister Imran Khan's government from handing over the 온라인카지노 Air Force pilot.
The petitioner said the 온라인카지노 pilot had violated the airspace of Pakistan to bomb the country and therefore he committed crime against Pakistan and should face trial here.
The court has admitted the petition for hearing. IHC chief justice Athar Minhallah will hear the petition ahead of the 온라인카지노 pilot's handing over to India.
Abhinanadan is likely to be handed over to the 온라인카지노 authorities at the Wagah border today afternoon.
"The 온라인카지노 pilot will be handed over to 온라인카지노 likely around 4pm," a source in Pakistan Rangers told PTI.
Strict security measures have been taken at the Wagah border.
