Islamabad High Court Chief Justice Aamer Farooq remarked on Thursday that former prime minister Imran Khan should be provided security according to his status as an ex-prime minister.
The high court heard the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chief’s plea regarding being provided security after Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah “threatened” him.
At the outset of the hearing, the court inquired about the current security rules, as well as how much security Imran was being given. The court main tained that an order would be issued after the requisite details were submitted.
Imran’s lawyer told the court that the ex-premier could not appear before the IHC, to which Justice Farooq said that Imran did not need to come to court in this case as it was only about provision of security.
Meanwhile, the Islamabad High Court on Thursday extended interim bails of Imran Khan in eight cases lodged against him, including the judicial complex riot case, till April 18.
