LAHORE– The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Monday approved protective bail of former prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan till March 3 in case pertaining to protest outside the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP).
A two-member bench of the Lahore High Court (LHC) resumed hearing after brief adjournment. The court also barred police from arresting Imran Khan.
Taking the rostrum, Imran said that his leg had recovered to an extent but the doctors had still told him to rest for two weeks.
He said that his medical checkup was scheduled for February 28. He further said that he had waited outside the courtroom for an hour, adding that he “fully respects the courts.”
The court granted Imran protective bail till March 3 and directed him to approach the relevant court by then.
Complying to court’s orders, former prime minister Imran Khan had reached court to appear before it in a bail petition regarding a case about protest outside the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP). The PTI chairman reached court, alongside a horde of PTI supporters, to attend two separate hearings.
Imran’s convoy had faced difficulty in reaching the courtroom for over an hour since their arrival at the LHC premises, as a result of the significant crowd of lawyers and supporters gathered in the area.
The court expresses resentment over security chief’s failure to produce Imran Khan in the courtroom.
After multiple adjournments, a two member bench of the Lahore High Court (LHC) — headed by Justice Ali Baqar Najafi — resumed hearing Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan’s bail plea.
