The amount of bail was set at Rs50,000 by Judicial Magistrate Shabbir Bhatti.

On Sunday, Duty Judge Mureed Abbas detained Arooba Komal and placed him in jail on judicial remand. Employees and PTI spokesman Raoof Hasan are also parties to the lawsuit, which was brought under the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA).

Advocate Sardar Masroof represented Komal in court; she was not mentioned in the FIR.

The two other ladies involved in the case had already been given bail, according to attorney Sardar Masroof, who represented Komal in court. There was no mention of Komal in the FIR, he claimed.

Raoof Hasan and the other accused were placed under duress physically for two days by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) on Sunday by the District and Sessions Courts in Islamabad. Syeda Arooba was placed on judicial remand by the court as well.

The Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA) was used to file a complaint against Hasan and other people. Raoof Hasan was placed on physical detention for two days, as per the FIA’s request, but Duty Judge Mureed Abbas delivered the reserved verdict. Judgement of remand was imposed on Arooba.

Concerning issues pertaining to freedom of expression, the FIA prosecutor stressed the state’s importance.

Though Raoof Hasan admitted his relationships with people who were jailed, he insisted that he was not accountable for any social media activity. In order to learn more about his ties, the FIA prosecutor contended that a physical remand was required.

The chief minister of KP, Ali Amin Gandapur, has been granted three weeks of transit bail in his plea with the Peshawar High Court (PHC).

The appeal for information regarding charges against Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur was considered by a two-judge panel from the PHC, which included Chief Justice Ishtiaq Ibrahim and Justice Sahibzada Asadullah.

The chief justice noted that the chief minister showed up for the court hearing, even though he was actually scheduled to be in Islamabad for an IMF meeting.

The applicant’s legal representative has asked for specifics of all pending charges against Chief Minister Gandapur, including those in Punjab.

According to the assistant attorney general, he told the ministry of the interior to adhere rigidly to court orders.

According to CJ Ibrahim, they have the option to request a response from the federal government and extend protection bail up to the Punjab region.

In every case, the additional attorney general ensured that court orders were implemented. He said that he had written to each district and requested details from the Punjab Police and the Inspector General.

The assistant attorney general has asked for an extension of three weeks to complete the report.

Gandapur could not attend the court daily due to his administrative duties and his position as chief minister and public office holder, according to Justice Asadullah.

After extending KP CM’s protective bail, the judge postponed the case hearing to December 17.

“Prepared to Protest”

Speaking to the media outside of PHC, KP CM Ali Amin Gandapur declared that he was prepared for the PTI protest meeting and that this time, the action plan will be stringent but undisclosed.

He emphasized that their peaceful protest was in accordance with their constitutionally protected right. According to him, his group was attacked, rubber bullets were shot, and routes were blocked so that protests couldn’t take place.

Importantly, on November 24th, Aleema Khan, who is the brother of PTI founder Imran Khan, said that her brother had called for a final protest.
