Pakistan
The PTI chief had sought bail in cases registered at Ramna police stations in Islamabad
LAHORE (Dunya News) – The Lahore High Court (LHC) registrar office on Monday raised an objection to the petitions filed by PTI Chairman Imran Khan, seeking protective bail in two cases registered at the Ramna police station in Islamabad.
The registrar said the copies of the protective bails secured by PTI leaders Mian Asalm Iqbal and Farrukh Habib in the same cases were not attached to the petitions filed by Mr Khan who faces arrest after a court in Islamabad issued his non-bailable arrest warrants for no-show in cases.
A day earlier, Imran Khan’s lawyer Advocate Azhar Siddique told media that the protective bail pleas for two cases registered at the Ramna police station Islamabad and one in Toshakhana case were filed in the high court.
