LAHORE: Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) in Lahore on Friday dismissed interim bail of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief in seven cases over not appearing in the court.
ATC Judge Aijaz Buttar heard the bail plea of the PTI chairman in seven cases including the Jinnah House attack case. At the outset of the hearing, Barrister Salman Safdar, the former prime minister’s lawyer, requested the court to grant a day exemption from court appearance to his client as he is currently in jail and cannot appear before the court for bail extension.
Safdar pleaded with the court not to reject the plea on the technical grounds on which the judge remarked that already your client has been given numerous chances.
Later, the court dismissed the interim bail pleas of the former prime minister and PTI chairman in seven cases.
