ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Tuesday reserved its verdict on the admissibility of the federal government’s petition against the rejection of an extension in the physical remand of senior PTI leader Shahbaz Gill sought under a separate plea in a sedition case.

Islamabad Advocate-General Jahangir Jadoon, on August 13, had moved the IHC seeking its order to declare the decision taken by the district and sessions court null and void while extending the physical remand of Shahbaz Gill, a close aide of PTI Chairperson Imran Khan.

The court had served a notice to Gill on Monday.
