In the petition, it was argued that the arrest of Imran Khan is illegal, the order of the High Court declaring the arrest of Imran Khan legal should be annulled and an order should be made to produce Imran Khan before the court.

A three-member bench consisting of Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar and Justice Athar Minullah headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Umar Atta Bandial was conducting the hearing.

At the beginning of the hearing, Imran Khan's lawyer Hamid Khan argued that Imran Khan had come to the Islamabad High Court for bail before his arrest, adding that he was doing biometrics when the Rangers broke the door of the room and entered, abused Imran Khan, and arrested him.
