IHC to rule on Imran’s appeals today The IHC will also take up FIA's application for in-camera hearing of Imran’s bail plea in the cipher case

A divisional bench of the Islamabad High Ciurt will announce its reserved ruling on an appeal of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran against rejection of nine bail application by the lower courts, on Monday (today), according to the IHC cause list issued on Sunday.

A sessions court and an anti-terrorism court had dismissed the bail applications, following Imran’s conviction in Toshakhana case in August. The pleas were related to three cases over May 9 violence, another three over protest in Islamabad, besides forgery in Toshakhan case and others.

Imran had challenged the decisions, requesting the IHC that his bail pleas should be considered pending in the concerned courts. According to the cause list, the bench, led by Chief Justice Aamer Farooq and including Tariq Mehmood Jahangiri would pronounce the reserved ruling.

Separately, the IHC will take up an application from the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) for in-camera hearing of Imran’s bail plea in the cipher case. The court had already set the hearing of Imran’s bail plea for today. The court would also hear the FIA’s request.
