SHC approves 20-day protective bail of Dr Alvi in three cases

Karachi: The Sindh High Court (SHC) granted a 20-day protective bail to former President Dr Arif Alvi in three cases on Wednesday.

The court ordered the PTI leader to submit a bond of Rs50,000 and referred the matter to a constitutional bench for further hearing of the case.

The petitioner’s lawyer took the stand that despite peaceful protests, cases were registered in different cities.

Cases were registered against Alvi in ​​Mianwali, Taxila and Rawalpindi and the purpose of the cases was to exert political pressure, he said.

The counsel sought a 20-day protective bail for his client, non-arrest by the Sindh police and non-inclusion of Alvi’s name in unknown FIRs.
