LAHORE: The Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) in Lahore has approved a time extension for all parties involved in the bail request of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) leader Yasmin Rashid, who is facing charges in three cases, including an arson case.
During a hearing presided over by counter-terrorism judge Ejaz Ahmad Buttar on Wednesday, the decision was announced. Rashid’s lawyer requested additional time to adequately prepare their case, which was taken into consideration by the court.
As a result, the court directed the legal representatives of all stakeholders to present their arguments by August 7, allowing sufficient time for necessary preparations to be completed.
In a previous development, the ATC had rejected her post-arrest bail plea.
The case against Rashid relates to the “coordinated attacks” on military installations that occurred following the unlawful arrest of former prime minister Imran Khan on May 9.
