LAHORE:

An anti-terrorism court (ATC) on Thursday extended the interim bail of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder till March 15 in three cases related to attacks on the Jinnah House, Askari Tower and torching of Shadman police station on May 9, 2023.

ATC Judge Muhammad Naveed Iqbal conducted the proceedings on the bail petitions of the PTI founder. The court sought arguments from parties, on the next date of hearing.

Last week, another ATC confirmed the interim bail of the PTI founder in four cases pertaining to an attack on police outside Zaman Park, murder of PTI activist Zille Shah, torching of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz office in Model Town and a container at Kalma Chowk.

On August 11, 2023, an ATC judge dismissed the pre-arrest bails of PTI founder in seven cases over his non-appearance as he was jailed after conviction in Toshakhana case. However, the Lahore High Court set aside the decision and restored his bail petitions while allowing a petition of the PTI founder.
