Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan Thursday received a one-time exemption from in-person appearances from three Islamabad courts.
The deposed prime minister — whose government was ousted in April 2022 — was scheduled to appear before a district and sessions court, the anti-terrorism court, and the Islamabad High Court (IHC).
The ex-premier is embroiled in legal battles — from lower courts to the Supreme Court — ranging from prohibited funding, sedition, and terror charges — and in all, he denies any wrongdoing.
The IHC extended the interim bail of PTI’s chairman till March 21, and directed him to join the investigation process in the case regarding an attack on Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Mohsin Shahnawaz Ranjha.
The court also granted a one-time exemption from attendance to the PTI chairman. IHC Chief Justice Aamer Farooq presided over the hearing.
