Imran Khan Gets Bail: Islamabad HC Gives 2-Week Reprieve in Al-Qadir Trust Case

A division bench of the Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Friday granted two-week bail to former Pakistan PM and PTI Chairman Imran Khan in the Al-Qadir Trust case. On Thursday the Pakistan Supreme Court termed his arrest from the IHC premises “invalid and unlawful”.

A division bench of the Islamabad High Court heard the PTI chief’s bail plea. DawnNewsTV reported that Imran’s lawyers had also filed four additional pleas which urged the IHC to club all the cases against Imran and to direct authorities to provide details of the cases registered against him.

The hearing had initially begun after a nearly two-hour delay with media reporting that officials were conducting a security sweep outside the courtroom.

But the hearing was halted as the judges left the courtroom after “pro-Imran” slogans were raised, reported Geo News.

In an informal conversation with journalists at the IHC, Imran said that he was hit on the head while being arrested.
