The Islamabad High Court extended former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan’s bail in the Al-Qadir Trust corruption case for three days
The Islamabad High Court on May 31 extended former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan's bail in the Al-Qadir Trust corruption case for three days and directed him to approach the relevant accountability court.
The order was issued by a division bench headed by Justice Miangul Hassan Aurangzeb.
Tight security was put in place at the high court premises. A video shared on Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party’s official Twitter account showed Mr. Khan entering the Islamabad High Court (IHC) as his security personnel held up bulletproof shields, the Dawn newspaper reported.
The IHC extended Mr. Khan's bail in the case for three days and directed him to approach the relevant accountability court at the same time.
On May 12, the court issued a directive prohibiting authorities from arresting the PTI chief in various cases, including undisclosed ones, registered throughout the country until May 15.
In the subsequent hearing, the court further extended the restriction on the arrest until May 31.
The court will also hear two additional bail petitions of the former Prime Minister, 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.
