The bench ordered Imran’s release on bail against the surety bond of Rs100,000. Later in the day, the surety bonds for Imran’s release were not filed within the court timings, therefore, his release order could not be issued. In order to ensure his release, Imran’s legal team moved the IHC, requesting the court to restrain the FIA, NAB and the police from arresting him in any other case. Imran had alleged that the cable proved a foreign conspiracy behind his removal from the government in April 2022. Justice Farooq noted that administrative matters of the high court and Supreme Court are handled by their registrars.
