Election date suo motu: Ruling parties request SC to form full court<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\nThe court, in light of the high court’s decision, ordered the PTI chief to appear before it on February 28 and adjourned the hearing till then.<\/p>\n
Earlier this month, a division bench of the IHC rejected the former prime minister\u2019s request to attend the hearing through a video link and directed him to appear before the banking court in person on February 28.<\/p>\n
Khan had approached the IHC to stop the banking court from issuing an order in his case after the latter had summoned him on February 15 as his bail was about to expire in the prohibited funding case.<\/p>\n
The IHC then ordered the banking court to suspend the decision on Khan\u2019s interim bail and extended its stay order against the verdict of the banking court.<\/p>\n
The PTI chief is embroiled in several cases and he was also asked to appear before two separate Lahore High Court benches earlier this month as he sought protective bail in a case pertaining to protests.<\/p>\n
Khan, who was earlier reluctant to show up before the courts in person, arrived at the LHC on the night of February 20 and a packed crowd was awaiting him over there.<\/p>\n

Once he appeared before the benches \u2014 one granted him protective bail in the Islamabad protest case and the other disposed of his second petition in the case regarding protests outside the Election Commission of Pakistan after he withdrew his plea.<\/p>\n
