Court adjourns PTI chief, Qureshi’s bail pleas in three cases till Nov 14

ISLAMABAD (HRNW) An anti-terrorism court on Monday adjourned hearing of bail petitions of PTI chief and party’s Vice Chairman Shah Mahmood Qureshi in three cases filed against them for ransacking public property and arson.

Anti-terrorism court judge Abul Hasnaat Zulqarnain conducted hearing of the case. The court deferred hearing on bail applications till November 14 without any proceedings.

Anti-terrorism court also adjourned hearing of the PTI Vice Chairman Shah Mahmood Qureshi’s bail application till November 14.

A few days ago, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Vice Chairman Shah Mahmood Qureshi had moved Islamabad High Court for post-arrest bail in all cases registered against him.

IHC Chief Justice Aamer Farooq heard the plea with objections.

Chief Justice Aamer Farooq said the petitioner had not attached documents in order which resulted in raising objections. He asked the lawyer to refile the application after arranging the documents in orderly manner.

The counsel for Qureshi said his petition was a matter of urgent nature and requested the court for issuance of a notice. The chief justice asked the counsel to resubmit the plea after doing the needful so that the court could issue a notice over that.
