Gandapur, through his counsel Haji Ajmal Khan Mohmand, has urged the court to remove terrorism charges from the case.
The petition argues that the protesters had exercised their constitutional right to peaceful assembly, but the police registered a terrorism case against them.
The case was registered on November 26 at the Secretariat police station in Islamabad.
Gandapur’s counsel has requested the IHC to suspend the FIR or terrorism charges until a final decision is made.
