LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chief Imran Khan has decided not to appear before Lahore High Court for protective bail and take the bail plea back.
As per media reports, Khan’s lawyers will shortly appear in the court and will request for taking back the plea submitted by PTI chief in LHC.
Earlier on Wednesday, LHC ordered Imran Khan to appear before court by 8pm as the former premier seeks protective bail in a case pertaining to protests outside the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP.
The former premier filed a petition in Lahore High Court (LHC), seeking protective bail after an Islamabad court rejects former prime minister’s bail in a case pertaining to protests outside the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) following his disqualification in Toshakhana reference.
During the hearing, Justice Tariq Saleem Sheikh ordered Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Punjab to bring Imran Khan in the court ‘under his protection’.
“Law is equal for everyone, First, Imran Khan should surrender then the court will hear the case,” he said, rejecting his request for exemption from court appearance.
