LAHORE:

The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Wednesday granted protective bail to former member of Punjab Assembly Mussarat Jamshed Cheema for five days in cases related to the May 9 violence.

Justice Shehram Sarwar Chaudhry heard the bail petition filed by Mussarat Cheema.

Her counsel argued before the court that she wanted to join the investigation of cases besides attending the scrutiny process of her nomination papers for the general elections.

He pleaded with the court to grant bail to the applicant, expressing fear that the police might arrest her.

After hearing the arguments of the counsel, the court allowed the request and granted protective bail for five days to Mussarat Cheema.
