Imran Khan's arrest by paramilitary Rangers sparked widespread protests across Pakistan, prompting the deployment of the Army here as well as in Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan provinces.
A special bench of the Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Friday briefly adjourned the hearing on Pakistan's former prime minister Imran Khan bail plea in a graft case amid slogan shouting by a lawyer in the courtroom, according to media reports.
Khan, 70, arrived at the court shortly after 11:30 am local time amid tight security and underwent the biometric identification process and other formalities.
A special division bench, comprising Justice Miangul Hassan Aurangzeb and Justice Justice Saman Rafat Imtiaz, took up the ex-premier's bail plea. The hearing was delayed for nearly two hours due to security reasons, media reported.
According to the Geo News, the two judges left the courtroom amid slogan shouting by a lawyer. The upset judges later announced that the hearing will resume after Friday prayers.
