ISLAMABAD, May 31: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan is set to appear before the Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Wednesday in the Al-Qadir trust case.
For his appearance today, the former prime minister has received permission to bring his vehicle inside the judicial complex premises where Judge Muhammad Bashir will hear the bail application. He has, however, been denied permission to bring the vehicle inside the IHC premises.
Meanwhile, the Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) police said that no political activity is allowed in the Red Zone of the capital.
On May 18, Imran opted out of appearing before the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) in the Al-Qadir Trust probe.
In a call-up notice sent to the PTI chief on Thursday, NAB referred to an order of the Islamabad High Court (IHC) which while granting Imran bail in the case on May 12 asked him to cooperate with NAB in its investigation into the scandal.
While executing the arrest warrant issued by the anti-graft body, paramilitary Rangers on May 9 had arrested Imran Khan from the IHC premises leading to widespread protests and incidents of vandalism and arson.
The PTI had approached the apex court against the arrest and a three-judge bench of the Supreme Court on May 11 had declared the arrest illegal while allowing the deposed premier an opportunity to seek bail from the IHC in a number of cases including the NAB case.
