The Rawalpindi Bench of the Lahore High Court on Monday ordered the release of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Senior Vice President Dr Shireen Mazari.
The court has asked the politician to submit an affidavit to the deputy commissioner to ensure that he does not indulge in such activities in future.
The bench’s orders came during the hearing of a petition filed against Mazari’s fresh detention.
After being released from custody on the orders of the Islamabad High Court (IHC), the PTI leader was re-arrested by the Punjab Police for the third time on the same day, May 17.
Officials told JEE News that Mazari was arrested by women personnel of Punjab Police under Section 4 of Maintenance of Public Order.
Her daughter Iman Mazari also confirmed her mother’s arrest for the third time on her Twitter handle and said: “They have taken her again”.
Last week, the IHC had barred authorities from arresting Mazari and his party colleague Senator Falknaz Chitrali. The court also barred the authorities from further investigating the two politicians when they appeared before a judge hearing pleas for relief from further arrest.
The judge remarked that there is no need for further investigation of Falaknaz and Shireen Mazari.

The human rights lawyer also criticized PTI Chairman Imran Khan for being “selfish” and forgetting his workers and leadership in difficult times.
Iman said that it is a pity that Imran Khan forgot the workers.
