RAWALPINDI:

The hearing of May 9 cases against 500 accused, including former premier Imran Khan and former foreign minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi, was adjourned until July 15 without any proceedings on Wednesday.

The Rawalpindi court expressed displeasure over the absence of the PTI chief and Qureshi, who were reportedly resting in their cells and did not appear despite being summoned.

The hearing was conducted at Adiala Jail by Judge Malik Ejaz Asif.

Several accused, including former interior minister Sheikh Rashid, Zartaj Gul, Rashid Hafeez, and Sheikh Rashid Shafiq, were present, and their attendance was marked.

The legal team of the PTI chief and Shah Mehmood Qureshi also appeared in court.
