LAHORE (Dunya News) – The Lahore High Court has accepted the protective bail plea of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan in sedition case till April 26.
Earlier, Imran Khan reached the Lahore High Court to seek protective bail in a case registered in Islamabad under sedition charges.
Justice Baqar Ali Najafi heard the petition after Jumma prayers. The PTI chief made complainant Manzoor Ahmed respondent in the petition. He said the FIR was politically motivated and it was lodged in violation of the laws.
The former premier pleaded the high court to grant him protective bail so he could approach the relevant court in this regard.
The FIR was registered by the Ramna police station against Mr Khan for using ‘inappropriate’ language against officers of an institution under sections 500, 505, and 138 of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC).
