ATC Judge Arshad Javed presided over the hearing of the bail pleas filed by former premier and PTI founder Imran Khan.

The court reserved the verdict after hearing arguments from Shah.
Following this, the court delivered its verdict, accepting Imran Khan’s bail in the four cases, which included the burning of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) office. The bail was granted in exchange for a bond of Rs 550,000.
