The media also reported that the seven cases also include the Lahore Corps commander’s house attack, for want of prosecution.

On the other hand, Imran Khan’s counsel argued that his client was in jail and the court should summon him as he wanted to appear before the court.
As per The News International, the court responded that even when Khan was free, he did not comply with the court’s orders. Barrister Salman Safdar, who had been excused from attending the hearing, requested more time to argue his request for an exemption from attending.
The court refused to grant the PTI chairman an exemption from appearing and dismissed his bail application, reported The News International.
