Earlier, the Lahore High Court (LHC) had rejected the bail applications of PTI founder Imran Khan in 8 cases of May 9, according to media reports.

A 2-member bench headed by Justice Shahbaz Rizvi ruled on the applications by rejecting the bail application of the former Prime Minister Imran Khan in the 9th May cases.

PTI founder Imran Khan had filed bail applications in 8 cases on May 9, on which the court reserved its decision after the hearing.

The PTI leadership has expressed dissatisfaction over the verdict of the Lahore High Court in the May 9th cases.
