In the Toshakhana-II case, the Islamabad High Court has dismissed the objections to PTI founder Imran Khan’s bail request.
IHC instructed the registrar’s office to schedule the hearing for the case for Monday.
Imran Khan’s attorneys, Shaheena Shahab, Ayesha Khalid, and others, arrived in court today as IHC Justice Miangul Hassan Aurangzeb heard the case.
The registrar’s objections to the plea were questioned by Justice Aurangzeb. In the Toshakhana-II case, Imran Khan submitted a bail application, according to counsel Ayesha Khalid.
Justice Miangul said that previous rulings in circumstances comparable to this one adhered to the consistency principle. In this instance, the petitioner was a man, he added.
Bushra Bibi was given bail because she was a woman, according to the justice, and an application like this one was denied yesterday.
Given that the case action date was November and the power of attorney was executed in July, Justice Aurangzeb raised a concern about the timing.
Justice requested the help of Advocate Shah Khawar in this case.
When an applicant was held in jail, Shah Khawar retorted that it was standard procedure to obtain signatures on required documents, such as a power of attorney.
Imran Khan’s attorney, Shaheena Shahab, asked the court to send out notices regarding the bail plea. A judge named Aurangzeb said that the law would be observed.
Following arguments, the court dismissed the registrar office’s objections and ordered that the case hearing be scheduled for Monday.
