After hearing arguments from Rizwan Abbasi, the special prosecutor, and Imran Khan’s attorney, the decision was reserved earlier in the day. The decision was later issued by Banking Court Judge Rakhshanda Shaheen. It is not specified what the decision was regarding.
“Someone excused the PTI leader from the case’s proceedings until the next hearing.” A request for permission to question Imran Khan at his Zaman Park mansion in Lahore was denied. It is not specified who made the request or who denied it.

The PTI head had been managing the party’s political activities since the attack on him in November. During the hearing, the prosecutor requested the court to revoke his bail.
