A Lahore Anti-Terrorism Court has extended former premier Imran Khan’s bail in four cases pertaining to May 9 violence until February 19.

The development comes days after incarcerated Imran and ex-foreign minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi were granted bail in at least a dozen cases related to the May 9 incidents by a Rawalpindi court.

ATC judge Arshad Javed presided over the hearing today.

During the hearing, an assistant lawyer informed the court that Imran’s counsel was occupied with the Al Qadir Trust case and sought more time to present his arguments.

Subsequently, the ATC accepted the request and ordered that arrangements be made to ensure Imran’s attendance via video link from Adiala jail during the next hearing.
