    LHC stops ACE and NAB from arresting Imran Khan until March 24

    Canada Global (Web News) Imran Khan’s arrest by the National Accountability Bureau and the Punjab anti-corruption organisation was halted by the Lahore High Court (LHC) on Wednesday till March 24.

    The request for information on the cases brought against Mr. Khan was heard by Judge Tariq Saleem. The report and the affidavit were provided by the plaintiff.

    The plaintiff was asked by Mr. Khan’s attorney, PTI Senior Vice President Fawad Chaudhry, if the affidavit had been included with the report. Judge Sheikh stated that it was the court’s responsibility, not Mr. Chaudhry’s, to raise this issue.

    The plaintiff claimed he had submitted the list, and Mr. Chaudhry countered that although they had anticipated filing 100 claims against Mr. Khan, the list revealed that there were actually more than 100. Azhar Siddique, Mr. Khan’s solicitor, claimed there were 43 complaints in Islamabad and 84 in Punjab against the former prime minister, up from 56 and 33, respectively, the day before.

    In a matter of hours, Mr. Chaudhry claimed, lawsuits were being filed against Mr. Khan.

    The court denied the NAB lawyer’s request for more time to write his response to the case while asking him to produce the report as soon as possible.

    The NAB counsel claimed that he should be given a copy of the petition so he can submit the reply after the court noted that he was only supposed to present the list of cases filed against Mr. Khan.

    Mr. Siddique stated that he had written to the NAB on February 17 requesting the list of cases, and that it was his right to be aware of the total number of cases brought against Mr. Khan.

  • LHC grants protective bail to Imran Khan

    LHC grants protective bail to Imran Khan

    Canada Global (Web News) Imran Khan, the leader of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), was granted protective bails by the Lahore High Court (LHC) on Friday after he personally appeared before the court on nine cases, including eight terrorism-related matters and one civil case.

    Earlier in the day, the PTI leader went before the LHC to request precautionary bail in nine instances. Four of those cases are in Lahore, while five are in Islamabad.

    Judge Tariq Saleem Sheikh and Justice Farooq Haider made up the two-person bench that heard the bail requests made in relation to the cases brought under the terrorism laws.

    Court Sheikh also heard Khan’s arguments for protective bail against the civil suits brought against him, and he granted it until March 27.

    While the former prime minister awaited word on whether security agents may pursue him once more for missing the court session, hundreds of PTI supporters protected the party chairman’s home to prevent his arrest.

    In Lahore Zaman Park, which earlier this week saw fighting between PTI supporters and Punjab Police advancing on Khan’s home to bring him before the court in a case where he is accused of selling state gifts given to him by foreign dignitaries without proper legal process while he was prime minister, a tense calm predominated prior to the court’s decision.

    Khan rejects the accusations.

    Even though there were no police present on Friday, witnesses claimed that Khan’s supporters stood watch outside his residence, armed with sticks and iron rods.
