Counsels for the PTI chairman, in their arguments in the additional sessions court, said that since their client was busy holding public gatherings in different parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and Punjab; therefore, he could not show up today.
Hearing this, judge Adnan Khan slapped Rs5, 000 in fine on Imran.
Later, the court adjourned hearing of the case until September 24, 2022.
