LAHORE , April 14, 2023: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan has reached the Lahore High Court to seek protective bail in a case registered in Islamabad under sedition charges.

Justice Baqar Ali Najafi will hear the petition after Jumma prayers. The PTI chief has made complainant Maznoor Ahmed respondent in the petition. He said the FIR was politically motivated and it was lodged in violation of the laws.

The former premier pleaded the high court to grant him protective bail so he could approach the relevant court in this regard.

The FIR was registered by Ramna Police Station against Mr Khan for using ‘inappropriate’ language against officers of an institution under sections 500, 505, and 138 of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC).
