Web Desk(LTN News): Imran Khan was granted protective bail by the Islamabad High Court on Wednesday in order to prevent his arrest in the case involving illegal fundraising.
The court ordered Imran Khan, the leader of the PTI, to seek interim relief from the appropriate court after approving his protection bail until October 18 (Tuesday). The PTI leader was given bail in exchange for a Rs. 5,000 surety bond.
Imran Khan, the chairman of the PTI, was summoned to court earlier today after the Islamabad High Court (IHC) ordered the FIA not to arrest him.
Imran Khan submitted a plea earlier today (Wednesday), requesting protective bail in order to avoid being detained in connection with the issue of unlawful fundraising. Athar Minallah, Chief Justice of the IHC, heard the petition.
The two other co-accused in the case went to the banking court to request their pre-arrest bails, according to Imran’s attorney, but neither the banking court nor the special judge central court would consider their requests.
The attorney said that Imran skipped court because he might be arrested.
CJ Minallah questioned the attorney about his opinion on which court the petitioner should have gone to in the case involving forbidden funds.
The lawyer responded by advising his client to show up in front of the case’s special judge.
The judge then instructed the PTI chairman to appear before the court in 30 minutes.

Imran Khan asked the court to grant him protective bail so that he could appear before the appropriate court. He said that the FIA had filed a case against him under the Foreign Exchange Act.
Asad Khan, the registrar of the International Humanitarian Court, has raised three objections to Imran’s petition, claiming that the PTI leader did not submit his biometric, that he attached an unconfirmed copy of the FIR, and that it was improper for the petitioner to submit his application to the high court before filing it in a special court.
