PESHAWAR: The Peshawar High Court on Monday granted transit bail to Opposition Leader in the National Assembly Omar Ayub and MNA Faisal Amin until Dec 21.

Justice Shakeel Ahmed presided over the hearing, during which the petitioners’ lawyer argued that his clients faced multiple cases in Islamabad, and they sought transit bail to appear in courts.

During the proceedings, Justice Ahmed emphasised that the country’s stability was the foremost priority, urging all the parties to resolve issues through parliamentary discussions.

Addressing Omar Ayub, he noted that as the opposition leader, he bears greater responsibility, and that all stakeholders must act responsibly. After hearing the arguments, the court approved transit bail for both until Dec 21.
