The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Wednesday restrained the FIA from arresting PTI activist Seemabia Tahir in a case registered under the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (Peca) and issued notices to the agency seeking its response.

Justice Khadim Hussain Soomro heard the pre-arrest bail application filed by Seemabia. The PTI activist appeared before the court along with her lawyers. The counsel submitted that the FIA has registered a case against her under PECA and there is apprehension of her arrest. The court granted interim bail to Seemabia until the next hearing and issued notices to the FIA seeking its response.
