Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan has moved the court of the special judge central for his bail before arrest in prohibited funding case.
The PTI chief’s lawyers have drawn up the bail plea in which they have urged the court to stop the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) from arresting Khan. The former prime minister has also decided to appear personally for the bail.
The move to seek bail from the special court comes after Islamabad High Court (IHC), last week, granted protective bail to the PTI chairman till October 18 (Tuesday) in the same case under the condition that Khan would approach the relevant court.
The PTI chief was granted bail against surety bonds of Rs5,000 till October 18 on the orders of IHC Chief Justice Athar Minallah.
While approving the bail, IHC also said that it would keep the case under trial and will hear the plea if the problem is not resolved at the relevant court.
Last week, FIA booked Imran Khan and other PTI leaders in the prohibited funding case as the agency ramped up the investigation into the matter.
The first information report (FIR) registered against the former prime minister has been lodged at the FIA’s banking circle police station.
