Earlier, the Lahore High Court granted bail to PTI leader Ejaz Chaudhry in three cases related to the May 9 riots and arson incidents.
According to reports, the court reserved its verdict on the bail application filed by Ejaz Chaudhry in all three cases.
A two-member bench headed by Justice Syed Shahbaz Ali Rizvi granted bail in all three cases.
