PTI chairman challenges cancellation of his bail pleas in LHC

LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman and former prime minister on Thursday challenged the cancellation of his interim bails in seven cases, including the Jinnah House attack case in Lahore High Court (LHC).

The PTI chairman has challenged the cancellation of his interim bails through his lawyer Barrister Salman Safdar. A two-member bench of the Lahore High Court will hear the petitions of the PTI chairman today at 11 am.

The petition maintained that the PTI chairman was being victimised and the cases were politically motivated.

The petitioner has sought a court order for hearing of his interim bail pleas on merit by the relevant court.

It is pertinent to mention here that the anti-terrorism court had rejected the bail pleas of PTI chairman in the May 9 cases and allowed the arrest of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chairman.

The court was informed that the PTI premiere was convicted under the Election Act and is currently under arrest.

The ATC accepted the plea and granted permission to police to conduct the inquiry and arrest of the former prime minister in Jinnah House attack case.

It is pertinent to mention here that PTI Chairman Khan was arrested from his Lahore residence on August 5 after he was slapped with a five-year disqualification and a three-year prison term in the Toshakhana criminal case.
