The Islamabad High Court (IHC) has extended bails of PTI chief Imran Khan in two cases pertaining to making allegations against top officers of state institutions and manhandling of PML-N leader Mohsin Ranjha by PTI workers until June 8.

Barrister Gohar, Imran’s lawyer, appeared in court and made a request for his client’s exemption from personal appearance. The court approved the request.

IHC Chief Justice Aamer Farooq also inquired about the registration of a first information report related to the arrest made from the court’s premises. The attorney general responded that a Supreme Court verdict is pending in the case.
