Lahore Sessions Court on Monday granted interim bail to two Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leaders (PTI), Fayyaz-ul-Hassan Chauhan and Musarrat Jamshed Cheema, in a case relating to violence and riots in the Punjab Assembly during the vote of a no-confidence motion against the speaker. Additional Sessions Judge Yaseen Mohal heard the bail petitions filed by Fayyaz and Musarrat and ordered Punjab police not to arrest the two leaders before June 18.
The court directed both the accused to submit surety bonds of Rs100,000 each for availing the relief. Earlier on June 8, the court had granted interim bails to 12 MPAs and 15 Punjab Assembly staffers in the assembly ruckus case.
Qila Gujjar Singh Police had registered a case under sections 324 (attempt to murder), 353 (assault on public servant).
