Protective bail: LHC adjourns hearing till February 16

  • Court directs IGP Punjab to provide fool-proof security to the PTI chief to make his appearance before the court possible
Published February 15, 2023

The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Wednesday adjourned the hearing in a case pertaining to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan's appearance before the court to obtain protective bail til February 16 after the former premier failed to appear before the court, Aaj News reported.

The PTI chief had filed a petition before the LHC for his protective bail after an anti-terrorism court in Islamabad rejected Imran Khan's bail in a case regarding a protest in front of the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) after he failed to appear before the court

Hearing his petition earlier in the day, the high court had ruled that as per the law, Imran Khan needed to surrender before the concerned court to obtain protective bail.

Imran's counsel apprised the court that the PTI chief seeks bail on medical grounds as doctors have advised him three-week rest.

"Imran Khan has survived an assassination attempt. There are serious threats to his life," the counsel further appealed.

To this, the court directed the Inspector General Police (IGP) Punjab to provide fool-proof security to the PTI chief and make his appearance before the court possible.

The court then summoned Imran Khan by 8 pm tonight and adjourned the hearing.

Meanwhile, hundreds of PTI supporters began to arrive at Imran Khan’s Zaman Park residence in Lahore as the PTI announced that Imran Khan will address the media at 6 pm.
