ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - The court has postponed the bail hearings of former prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan in six cases and his wife Bushra Bibi in one case. 

The hearing took place at the Judicial Complex in Islamabad, presided over by Judge Afzal Majoka. Advocate Khalid Yousaf Chaudhry represented Imran Khan in court. 

During the proceedings, Khalid Yousaf Chaudhry informed the court that Imran Khan’s video appearance had not yet been arranged. The judge inquired whether jail authorities had responded regarding the video attendance, to which the court staff replied that no letter had been received from the jail administration. 

The defence requested the court to set a fixed date for arguments and ensure the prosecution's presence, suggesting any day during Ramazan. However, Judge Majoka stated that he would be in training during Ramazan and proposed scheduling the hearing after Eid. 

Advocate Chaudhry requested not to set it in the first week after Eid, citing prior commitments.

Subsequently, the court adjourned the final arguments on Imran Khan’s six bail pleas and Bushra Bibi’s case, along with the matter of Khan’s video attendance, until April 15.
