ISLAMABAD: A divisional bench of the Islamabad High Court (IHC) will announce its reserved ruling on an appeal of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan against the rejection of nine bail application by different lower courts, today (Monday).

According to the cause list issued by the IHC on Sunday, the bench, led by Chief Justice Aamer Farooq and including Tariq Mehmood Jahangiri would pronounce the reserved ruling.

A sessions court and an anti-terrorism court had dismissed the bail applications, following Imran’s imprisonment in the Toshakhana case in August. The pleas were related to three cases over May 9 violence, another three over protest in Islamabad, besides forgery in Toshakhana case and others.

Imran had challenged the court decisions, requesting the IHC that his bail pleas be considered pending in the relevant courts.

Separately, the IHC will take up an application from the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) for the in-camera hearing of Imran’s bail plea in the cipher case as it is going to hear Imran’s bail plea today.
