ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan has approached the Supreme Court for bail in the £190 million settlement case, ARY News reported.
The PTI chairman approached the apex court following the rejection of his plea by the Islamabad High Court (IHC) 10 days ago.
In the appeal, the Supreme Court had been requested to annul the IHC decision of Nov 14 and the decision of the accountability court on Aug 10 regarding his arrest in the NCA case.
On Thursday, an accountability court in Rawalpindi approved a 4-day physical remand of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan in the £190 million settlement case.
The hearing of the case took place in Adiala Jail, where Judge Muhammad Bashir presided over the proceedings and approved Khan’s physical remand.
