Former Prime Minister and founder of Pakistan’s Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Imran Khan Seeks Bail from ATC in 12 cases linked to the incidents of May 9, 2023. Through his legal representative, Imran Khan has submitted applications arguing for post-arrest bail. He asserts that he is currently on judicial remand and that the cases against him are politically motivated. The Anti-Terrorism Court’s decision on whether to grant bail will be a significant development in these ongoing legal battles.
Represented by his lawyer Salman Safdar, Imran Khan has submitted applications for post-arrest bail. His petitions assert that he is currently on judicial remand for all the cases and argue that no recoveries are needed from him. He contends that the police cases are baseless, politically motivated, and designed to target him for retribution.
Imran Khan is specifically seeking bail for several high-profile cases, including the attack on Jinnah House and the arson at Askari Tower. His legal team maintains that these charges are part of a broader effort to undermine his political influence and discredit the PTI leadership.
Imran Khan’s move to seek bail is seen as a critical step in his legal strategy to combat what he describes as a campaign of political vendetta. The outcome of his bail applications will be closely watched, as it has significant implications for both his personal freedom and the political landscape in Pakistan.
