Swati's interim bail extended in controversial tweets case

Islamabad: Special Judge Central Islamabad Monday extended Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Azam Swati's interim bail till May 15 in the case of the controversial tweet.

According to the details, Special Judge Central Humayun Dilawar heard the case against PTI’s Azam Swati.

Judge Humayun Dilawar, talking to lawyer Ali Bukhari, said that do not crowd the court, to which lawyer Ali replied that the lawyers are not from the International Legal Foundation (ILF) but are my juniors.

Special Judge Humayun stated that the lawyers who have to present their arguments should be present and sit down. Lawyer Ali Bukhari said that Azam Swati was granted bail on merit.

Prosecutor Rizwan Abbasi added that Azam Swati misused the judicial leniency. He had become proclaimer. ‘I want to take instructions from my client for which I need time’.

Later, Special Judge Central extended Azam Swati's interim bail till May 15.

Talking to the media outside the judicial complex, Azam Swati said: “I don't know what deal PTI is going to make, I am suffering my cases today. If there is rule of law, the institutions will work”.

He stated that he would be honored with law and the country would move towards improvement. If every institution and individual applies the law to themselves, then stability will be created in the country. Islamabad High Court (IHC) asked to bring Forms-45, 46.

Azam Swati further added that there was a huge rigging in the elections. The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has committed a crime. ‘I curse the elected members of the Assembly under Form-47, those who have the Form-47 should show moral courage and leave the Assembly’.
