An Islamabad district and sessions court on Friday converted the non-bailable arrest warrant — issued to PTI Chairman Imran Khan in a case pertaining to alleged threats to a judge — into a bailable warrant.
The court dismissed the former premier’s plea to extend the suspension of the said arrest warrant as it announced the verdict Friday.
On March 13, Senior Civil Judge Rana Mujahid Rahim had issued non-bailable arrest warrants for Imran while hearing a case registered against the ex-premier for using threatening language against ADSJ Zeba Chaudhry and the Islamabad police officials.
After the PTI challenged the warrants in the district court, ADSJ Faizan Haider Gilani on March 14 asked Imran’s counsel to submit security documents in court and had suspended the arrest warrants till March 16.
