Supreme Court grants bail to PTI founder Imran Khan in May 9 cases

The Supreme Court on Friday approved bail for the founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) in cases linked to the May 9 riots.

The court’s ruling came during a hearing on multiple cases registered against him following the nationwide protests and attacks on government and military installations earlier this year.

The Supreme Court has reconstituted the bench hearing Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan’s bail applications in connection with eight cases linked to the May 9 riots.

Justice Hassan Azhar Rizvi has joined the three-member bench in place of Justice Mian Gul Hassan Aurangzeb. The newly formed bench will now be headed by Chief Justice Yahya Afridi, alongside Justice Muhammad Shafi Siddiqui.

The reconstituted bench is expected to resume hearings on the former prime minister’s bail applications soon.
