According to Pakistani news outlet Dawn, the Islamabad High Court prolonged Imran Khan’s bail requests in two instances involving accusations against high-ranking government officials and the maltreatment of PML-N leader Mohsin Ranjha by PTI activists until June 8.
Gohar, Imran’s attorney, appeared in court and brought up Imran’s exclusion from personal attendance. The solicitation has the backing of the court.
According to Dawn, when Khan was arrested in the Al-Qadir Trust corruption case, his followers organized violent rallies, which caused the Lahore High Court to postpone making a judgment on the appeal against his detention in any case brought against him.
On Monday, Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi appeared before the Lahore High Court. Bushra Bibi was granted pre-arrest release in the Al-Qadir Trust case till May 23.
The Lahore High Court granted Bushra Bibi pre-arrest bail till May 23 in the Al-Qadir Trust case. Khan, though, was charged with terrorism after the May 9 riots, and the court set his bail hearing on Tuesday.
“In the Al-Qadir Trust case, the LHC granted Bushra Bibi pre-arrest bail until May 23. However, the court set Khan’s bail hearing in the terrorist accusations brought against him after the incident on May 9 for Tuesday. A court source informed PTI that the LHC Registrar’s Office objected to the arrest documents of the Supreme Court and Islamabad High Court orders not being attached.
Khan’s attorney also provided a copy of the Islamabad High Court’s stay order, which ordered the hearing in the Toshakhana case against the PTI leader to be continued until June 8.
The PTI chairman’s trial in the Toshakhana case was postponed until the second week of June thanks to a broad relief given by the IHC’s multiple benches, which also prohibited the authorities from detaining him.
The leader of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) received a stay of proceedings last week in six cases filed against him for setting fire to the Corps Commandant’s office in Lahore and other acts of violence that occurred following his detention.
