ATC judge Raja Jawad Abbas resumed the hearing after a gap with counsel representing Imran Khan, Babar Awan, saying that his client has appeared before the court.

The prosecutor has sought cancellation of Imran Khan’s bail citing his failure to appear before the investigation team probing the matter despite issuing three notices to him.
