ISLAMABAD: An additional sessions court in Islamabad gave interim bail to six leaders of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf on Wednesday in the Section 144 violation case.
Saifullah Niazi, Ali Awan, Raja Khurram, Faisal Javed, Sadaqat Abbasi and Shahzad Waseem are among the PTI leaders who were granted interim bail on Wednesday.
Additional Sessions Court Judge Faizan Haider Gilani gave interim bail against surety bonds of Rs20,000, to each leader of the PTI.
The members of the former ruling party had filed bail applications earlier today after a case was registered against them and 19 other PTI leaders in the Aabpara police station.
The PTI leaders had participated in a rally to protest PTI leader Shahbaz Gill’s arrest and ‘custodial torture’ on August 20 in Islamabad’s F-Park.
The lawyers of PTI leaders the case against PTI leaders was baseless, adding that the rally was peaceful and the cases were an “attempt to suppress” the leaders.
They maintained that the provisions the leaders were charged under were bailable and pleaded that bail be granted.
