The Supreme Court postponed on Monday that the consultation of bail appeals filed by former Prime Minister Imran Khan until August 12.
The PTI founder had approached the point of view after the dismissal of his guarantee applications in the 9th of May -rebellion cases by Lahore High Court (LHC).
A division bench of the point of point, led by Chief Justice of Pakistan Yahya Afridi, postponed the hearing due to general postponement of IMRAN’s lawyer, Salman Safdar.
Attorney Salman Akram Raja showed up for the bench and requested the court to re -plan the hearing for next week and issue messages to the respondents.
However, the bench rejected its request and postponed the procedure until the second week of August.
LHC, led by Justice Shahbaz Ali Rizvi, had previously rejected IMRAN’s bail, citing his alleged involvement in planning attacks on military installations in anticipation of his arrest on May 9, 2023.
Imran appealed to the Supreme Court on July 26, arguing that the prosecution had presented three conflicting tales that connect him to the alleged conspiracy, all of which were rejected by different courts.
The first version involved two police officers, Hassam Afzal and Asmat Kamal, who reportedly heard the conspiracy on May 7 and May 4.
This claim was rejected by ATC-III Lahore due to late disclosure and insufficient evidence, which led to bail in eighty 366/23 and 1078/23.
The second version alleged encouragement through media indications, but failed due to lack of criminal material and was rejected by LHC.
The third version depended on new testimonies, including from PTI leaders Sadaqat Abbasi and Wasiq Qayyum, but also became unbelievers of ATC-I Rawalpindi, which emitted co-recognized Bushra IMRAN on August 20, 2024.
Despite the rejection of all three versions of competent courts, LHC refused IMRAN’s bail on June 24, based solely on statements from the two police officers.
Imran’s petition claims that the case qualifies as a further investigation, giving him the right to bail after occasion in accordance with section 497 (2). 2, CRPC 1898.
