ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) will hear the bail plea of chairman Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan in the Al Qadir Trust case today, as his previous bail, which was granted two weeks ago, has expired.
The hearing is expected to start at 2pm. The court had, on May 12, issued directions prohibiting authorities from arresting the PTI chief in various cases, including undisclosed ones, registered throughout the country until May 15. In a subsequent hearing, the court further extended the restriction on the arrest until May 31.
The court will also hear two additional bail petitions by the former premier, concerning cases pertaining to a violation of section 144 during a rally held in Islamabad to show support for the judiciary, as well as the incidents of violence that occurred on May 9. The hearing of these two cases is expected to commence at 2:30pm.
Later in the day, an accountability court will take up the bail plea of Imran Khan’s wife, Bushra Bibi, in the Al Qadir Trust case.
