ISLAMABAD: A district and sessions court in Islamabad has extended the interim bail of PTI founder Imran Khan in six cases and of his wife Bushra Bibi in one case.
The hearing was held at the court of Additional District and Sessions Judge Afzal Majoka. Due to the absence of Imran Khan, no arguments could be presented on his bail pleas, while the reserved verdict on Bushra Bibi’s bail application was also not announced.
The court had earlier ordered Imran Khan to appear either in person or through video link, but that did not happen.
Advocate Khalid Yousaf Chaudhry appeared in court on behalf of Imran Khan. The court adjourned the hearing on the bail petitions until September 9.
Imran Khan faces five cases under charges including protest, rioting, and attempted murder. Both Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi are also accused in a Toshakhana case, where they allegedly submitted fake receipts.
