Islamabad, Aug 12 (UNI) The Supreme Court of Pakistan has issued a notice to the Punjab government regarding appeals filed by incarcerated Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Imran Khan, media reports said.
Chief Justice Yahya Afridi raised questions on whether final observations could be given in a bail case, according to media reports.
The court directed the prosecution department to prepare on legal questions and adjourned the matter until 19 August, Pakistani media reported.
Imran Khan’s legal team and the opposing lawyers were instructed to assist the court on the identified legal issues.
The Chief Justice made it clear that the Supreme Court would not issue any finding that could affect another case involving PTI founder.
The hearing was adjourned after the court stated that only the prosecution would be given notice for now, with both sides expected to be ready with legal arguments at the next session.
