Islamabad (December 11. 2017): An Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) in Islamabad will resume hearing of four cases against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairperson Imran Khan and others related to the 2014 sit-in today.
ATC Judge Shahrukh Arjumand will take up the cases at 11AM.
The ATC is hearing four cases against the PTI chief including assault on state television building, the Parliament and SSP Asmatullah Junejo.
The ATC had declared Imran proclaimed offender in the cases for staying away from the trial and not showing up despite repeated summons and issuance of non-bailable arrest warrants.
However, after avoiding the trial for about three years, last month Imran had surrendered himself before the ATC, which then approved the PTI chairman’s bail for Rs200,000 in each case.
The court had also ordered Imran Khan to cooperate with the investigation and get his statement recorded before police. Last Sunday, Imran appeared before the investigation officer and recorded his statement at the Secretariat Police Station.
During the hearing on Thursday, Imran had appeared before the ATC in cases pertaining to the sit-in by PTI and Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) in 2014.
