Prohibited funding case: Court approves Imran Khan’s pre-arrest bail

Islamabad: A court in Islamabad Monday approved the pre-arrest bail of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan in the prohibited funding case till October 31. 

As per details, the PTI chief was granted bail against surety bonds of  Rs100,000.

It is pertinent to mention here that the former Prime Minister’s lawyers submitted his plea in court, seeking pre-arrest bail in the prohibited funding case. 

In the plea, they pleaded with the court to stop the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) from arresting Khan. The former prime minister has also decided to appear personally for bail.

The move to seek bail from the special court comes after Islamabad High Court (IHC), last week, granted protective bail to the PTI chairman till October 18 (Tuesday) in the same case under the condition that Khan would approach the relevant court.

The PTI chief was granted bail against surety bonds of Rs5,000 till October 18 on the orders of IHC Chief Justice Athar Minallah.

While approving the bail, IHC also said that it would keep the case under trial and will hear the plea if the problem is not resolved at the relevant court.
