Khadija Shah gets bail in May 9 cases

LAHORE: The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Wednesday granted bail to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) activist Khadija Shah in two cases related to May 9 violence.

A two-member LHC bench headed by Justice Ayla Neelum heard the case and granted bail to Shah and nine others.

Earlier, PTI activist Khadija Shah, who is on judicial remand in multiple cases of May 9 riots, had approached the Lahore High Court seeking details of all cases registered against her.

Advocate Sameer Khosa filed a petition on behalf of Ms Shah saying the petitioner has been falsely implicated by the police in the cases.

Dr. Yasmeen Rashid, Khadija Shah remanded in police custody

The petitioner has a right to know if there are any cases made against her to have a fair trial, the petition said.

The petition asks the court to order the police and the FIA to produce a list of FIRs registered against the petitioner.

The petition seeks a protective bail to enable Khadija Shah to approach any court for bail before arrest and take part in any investigation against her.
