Peshawar High Court on Monday granted transit bail to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Hammad Azhar in cases related to the May 9 riots, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
The Chief Justice of Peshawar High Court, Mohammad Ibrahim Khan, heard the petition and approved the transit bail of Hammad Azhar in 51 cases and directed him to appear in the concerned courts within a month.
The lawyer representing the defendant disclosed that there is a total of 51 cases filed against Hammad Azhar, with the possibility of more cases yet to be uncovered.
These cases span across various cities including Lahore, Rawalpindi, and Faisalabad, raising questions about the extent of the legal entanglement faced by the PTI leader.
Additional Attorney General, Inam Yousafzai, deferred to the court’s discretion, emphasizing the importance of allowing due process to determine the appropriate course of action.
