A court in Islamabad on Monday issued arrest warrants for PTI leaders Omar Ayub, Amir Dogar and Amir Mughal for not appearing in the court for the hearing of cases related to the violation of section 144, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
The court, however, accepted the applications filed by PTI leaders Shoaib Shaheen and Barrister Gohar for an exemption from today’s hearing.
Judicial Magistrate Shahzad Khan heard the cases.
Also on Monday, a court in Islamabad reserved the verdict on the post-arrest bail applications filed by 22 PTI workers in connection with the November 26 protest.
Judicial Magistrate Shahzad Gondal reserved the verdict after the completion of arguments.
Sardar Masroof Khan, counsel for the suspects, argued that the Islamabad High Court (IHC) had already granted bail to others who had been nominated in the same cases. “But these workers are being implicated in one case after the other only to victimize them,” he said, adding, “Therefore, it is requested that in the light of the IHC’s decision, the bail applications of my clients are approved as well.”
Cases were registered against the PTI at Ramna Police Station of Islamabad.
