The court expressed annoyance over not recording statements of Zubair Khan Niazi, Sheikh Imtiaz, Mian Akram Usman and another and ordered the investigation officers to record their statements immediately. At this stage, the PTI leaders’ counsel advocate Burhan Moazzam sought time for advancing his arguments on the bail applications. Subsequently, the court allowed the request and extended the interim bail of the PTI leaders till August 5. Shahdara, Bhatti Gate, Shafiquabad and Gulberg police had registered cases against the PTI leaders. Meanwhile, the court rejected the interim bail of PTI leader Aijaz Chaudhry after he failed to appear before the court.
