The Islamabad High Court (IHC) directed Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan to resubmit his response in the contempt of court case within the next seven days.
IHC Chief Justice Athar Minallah said he was “disappointed” by the written response submitted by Khan in the case. He asked him to review it and submit it once more.
The court adjourned the hearing till September 8.
Khan reached the Islamabad High Court (IHC) in reference to contempt of court case against him. Police set security on high alert around the IHC.
Last week, Khan was given pre-arrest bail in the terror case filed against him for threatening Additional District and Sessions Judge Zeba Chaudhry and senior police officers at a public rally, shortly after he appeared before an anti-terrorism court (ATC) in Islamabad.
The ATC accepted the former premier’s bail plea against a surety of Rs100,000, stopping the police from arresting Khan till September 1.
Khan appeared in the ATC in person where Judge Raja Jawwad Abbas heard his plea.
Head to Islamabad if Imran Khan arrested
PTI asked its supporters to take to the streets and head to Islamabad if their leader gets arrested.
“If Imran Khan is arrested, come out on the streets and then head to Islamabad the next day. Clear directions from the party given,” tweeted PTI’s official account.
Prior to this, Khan had secured transit bail till August 25 from the Islamabad High Court (IHC).
On August 21, a first information report (FIR) was registered against the former prime minister under the Anti-Terrorism Act for threatening an additional sessions judge and senior police officers of the Islamabad Police at a rally in the federal capital’s F-9 Park on August 20.
