Islamabad:
The Supreme Court postponed until Wednesday (today) the hearing of bail requests presented by former Prime Minister Imran Khan in eight different cases of May 9.
When Imran’s lawyer, Salman Safdar, arrived in La Tribuna on Tuesday, the president of the Supreme Court of Pakistan (CJP) Yahya Afridi, who directs the three -member bank that listens to the case, commented that both parties had presented documents that the bank needed to examine.
Safdar said he also wanted to present verdicts issued by several anti -terrorist courts in the cases of May 9. CJP Afridi said that any part that would like to present documents should do so immediately, since it was necessary to review the documents.
The Prosecutor’s Office was also ordered to review the documents presented by the accused. Then, the court postponed the hearing until 10:30 am today.
A Division Bank of the Superior Court of Lahore (LHC) led by Judge Shahbaz Ali Rizvi on June 24 rejected Imran Khan bail requests in eight different cases of disturbances on May 9.
In his order, the LHC declared that the former prime minister was involved in the hatching of a conspiracy to attack the military facilities in case of his possible arrest since two police officers had given testimonies for that purpose.
The founder of PTI questioned the order in the Supreme Court, whose three members led by CJP Afridi, composed of Judge Muhammad Shafi Siddiqui and Judge Miangul Hassan Aurengzeb, did the matter on July 29.
