#LAHORE (MNP) – An anti-terrorism court of #Islamabad on Tuesday extended interim bail of #PTI Chairman #ImranKhan till June 8 in eight cases while an #accountability court granted interim #bail to #BushraBibi till May 31 in #Al-QadirTrustcase.
Anti-Terrorism Court Judge Raja Jawad Abbas conducted hearing of the bail applications in eight cases of terrorism including violence at #JudicialComplex.
Imran Khan’s lawyer Salman Safdar advanced arguments and said that on the orders of the Lahore High Court, a JIT visited Zaman Park and conducted an extensive investigation. He said Imran had security threats so Lahore High Court asked JIT to visit Imran at Zaman Park to record his statement.
He said it was a wrong perception that Imran did not want to join the investigation process. Salman Safdar said the PTI chief was ready to address any query. “We were given chance in the anti-terrorism court in Lahore and we joined investigation,” he said.
Giving arguments, the Mr Safdar added that they had to appear in the Islamabad High Court on June 8 in different cases. The special prosecutor, while giving arguments in the court, said that Imran Khan did not appear before JIT on April 6 and April 18. The JIT had been formed in four cases but the PTI chairman did not become part of the investigation process.
The court remarked that the High Court had directed him to go there and conduct an investigation, to which the special prosecutor replied that during interim bail it was necessary to join the investigation.
