The Supreme Court of Pakistan will hear eight post-arrest bail pleas of former Prime Minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan related to the May 9 violence cases.
A two-judge panel comprising Chief Justice Yahya Afridi and Justice Muhammad Shafi Siddiqui will conduct the proceedings tomorrow (Tuesday) at 9:30 AM.
The applications, submitted by Advocate Salman Safdar, contest the Lahore High Court’s prior rejection of Khan’s bail requests.
The lawsuits relate to the unrest that followed Khan’s detention on May 9, which resulted in assaults on military and government facilities.
The apex court’s decision to hear the appeals represents a significant turn in the legal challenges confronting the PTI leader, who is embroiled in various legal and political disputes.
