ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Wednesday granted protective bail to the PTI Chairman Imran Khan in a false affidavits case.
The bail was granted against surety bonds of Rs5,000 till October 18 after Imran Khan appeared before the court. The plea was heard by IHC Chief Justice Athar Minallah. The case was registered against him and other PTI leaders by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) for allegedly submitting false affidavits to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) in connection with a prohibited funding case.
The PTI chief had moved the IHC for protective bail after the FIA’s Commercial Bank Circle in Islamabad registered a first information report (FIR) against him and other PTI leaders on October 6.
