LAHORE (Dunya News) - Lahore High Court (LHC) has fixed the plea of Imran Khan challenging Punjab cabinet’s decision to file cases against him.

LHC’s two-member bench headed by Justice Alia Neelum will hear the case on June 24.

The court has sought the details from government lawyer about Punjab cabinet’s decision to file cases against Imran Khan.

In May, the Punjab Cabinet of Maryam Nawaz had approved a ‘fresh legal action’ (new cases) against PTI founding chairman Imran Khan and other party leaders for their alleged involvement in manufacturing a ‘narrative of hate’ against state institutions, especially the army.

Latif Khosa, a senior counsel, has filed a petition on behalf of the PTI founder, making the IGP, the interior minister and others parties in the petition.

The petition adopted that Khan was incarcerated in Adiala Jail in various cases and sought an embargo upon the government for approval of registration of new cases against the PTI founder.
