The district and sessions court of Islamabad on Monday approved an interim bail of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chief Imran Khan in the case pertaining to protests by his party activists following the ECP\u2019s verdict resulting in ex-PM\u2019s disqualification.
\nAt least seven cases have been registered against more than 1,900 suspects, including sen\u00adior leaders of the PTI, on various charges that also include terrorism, in connection with Saturday\u2019s protests against the Election Commission of Pakistan\u2019s decision to disqualify former prime minister Imran Khan.
\nThe cases have been registered against the party leadership at the Secretariat, Industrial Area, Shahzad Town, Sihala, Sangjani, Khanna and Bhara Kahu police stations where the nominees have been charged with blocking roads, attacking police personnel and vandalizing.
\nOn Monday, Imran\u2019s counsel Advocate Babar Awan filed an application with the court seeking pre-arrest bail.
\nThe petition was heard by additional session judge Zafar Iqbal in which he approved Imran\u2019s interim bail till October 31 and gave order to submit surety bonds worth Rs100,000.
\nDuring the proceeding, the counsel told the court that his client was about to come and he was on the way.
\nThe court remarked to choose a date for Imran Khan\u2019s appearance before the court. However, the counsel asked for a date before October 31.
\nReiterating the direction for Imran to appear before the concerned court on October 31, the court accepted the application and directed the police not to arrest the former prime minister.
