The Islamabad High Court approved a pre-arrest bail plea filed on behalf of PTI Chairman Imran Khan through lawyer Babar Awan in the contempt of court case against the PTI chair.
The petition was filed a day after a magistrate of Islamabad's Margalla Police Station issued an arrest warrant for the PTI chair in the case registered on August 20 against him for his remarks against Additional District and Sessions Judge Zeba Chaudhry.
The FIR includes four sections of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC), including 506 (punishment for criminal intimidation), 504 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of the peace), 189 (threat of injury to public servant), and 188 (disobedience to order duly promulgated by public servant).
The former prime minister is facing contempt charges for his controversial remarks against an additional district and sessions judge.
Imran submits affidavit in contempt of court case
Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah has already said the coalition government will not detain the PTI chair and that Imran's arrest warrant had to be issued because an accused is required to appear before a magistrate, but Imran didn't.
