Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman and former prime minister Imran Khan will reach Islamabad on Tuesday to appear before different courts in four separate cases, a party leader said.
PTI leader Mian Aslam Iqbal stated that Imran Khan would travel to Islamabad by road rather than by air. He also said that Khan’s convoy will be accompanied by PTI workers on its way to Islamabad.
Imran Khan will appear in four different court proceedings, including two cases in the sessions court, a case involving prohibited funding in the banking court, and a case regarding staging protests outside the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) in an anti-terrorism court.
Prior to his hearing before the banking court, where he intends to plead for an extension of his bail, Imran Khan is expected to first appear before the special court.
It is pertinent to mention here that the Islamabad High Court (IHC) has directed Imran Khan to appear before the Banking Court. The PTI chairman is likely to file a bail plea in the Anti-Terrorism Court as well. After appearing before three courts, he would head towards Islamabad's local court.
Sessions Judge Zafar Iqbal will hear the Toshakhana case and the murder attempt case at the district court. Khan’s lawyer, Babar Awan, has given the court assurance that his client will attend the court proceedings.
Foolproof security arrangements will be made in the courts. Furthermore, the Banking Court Registrar has requested the Islamabad Police chief to provide security to avoid any untoward incident.
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan faces a whopping 36 cases that are currently pending against him in various legal jurisdictions of Islamabad, Lahore, and in the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP).
These include disqualification, pre-arrest bail, criminal proceedings, protective bail, and defamation cases. One case from 2014 pertains to terrorism as well, and the PTI chief is yet to be granted pre-arrest bail in that one.
While Khan’s bail is pending in two cases, he can be arrested if it is revoked in any one of them.
Most of the cases against the former prime minister are lodged in Islamabad. Twenty-five of these are pending in the sessions court of Islamabad, and Khan is on bail in all the cases except for two.
