LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leader and former SAPM, Shahbaz Gill on Wednesday moved Lahore High Court to seek protective bail and details of cases registered against him, ARY News reported.
The federal and Punjab governments and others have been made respondents in the plea filed by Dr Shahbaz Gill with the LHC.
The PTI leader in his plea filed through Barrister Ahmed Bansota stated that despite permission from the court to travel abroad for four weeks, he was ‘harassed’ at the airport and was told about the registration of five more cases.
“We don’t have information about new cases,” Gill said in his plea and added that FIRs were being registered against him on ‘political’ revenge.
The court after the initial hearing issued notices to the respondents and sought a reply from them by April 6 (tomorrow).
