ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - An additional district and sessions court in Islamabad has issued written orders granting pre-arrest bail to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan in six cases and his wife Bushra Bibi in one case.
The written verdict was announced by Additional District and Sessions Judge Muhammad Afzal Majoka. According to the decision, pre-arrest bail was approved for Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi in the Toshakhana case involving alleged fake receipts.
The court observed that the prosecution failed to present concrete evidence against the PTI founder and Bushra Bibi. It noted that the prosecution claimed the receipt was seen on social media, but no forensic examination of the document had been conducted to date.
The judgment further stated that it could not be proven that the alleged fake receipts were submitted by Imran Khan or Bushra Bibi to the Election Commission or the Cabinet Division.

In a separate case involving allegations against senior personalities, Imran Khan was also granted bail after the prosecution failed to produce any speech or evidence against the Pakistan Army in court.
The court ruled that no material evidence was presented to establish that Imran Khan incited rebellion. In cases related to the May 9 protests and attempted murder, the prosecution was unable to substantiate its claims.
It was also not proven that Imran Khan was present at the protest sites or that the demonstrations were carried out on his instructions.
The court approved bail against surety bonds of Rs50,000 each.
It is worth noting that six cases have been registered against the PTI founder at Kohsar Police Station, Secretariat Police Station, and in Karachi, among other locations.
