Overview
- An anti-terrorism court in Rawalpindi was reported to have issued a non-bailable arrest warrant for Aleema Khan after she did not appear following the rejection of an exemption request.
- Dunya News reported that the court admitted her petition challenging the case and its proceedings, cancelled the reported warrants, and deferred indictment in the November 26 matter.
- Pakistan Observer separately reported that the court framed charges in the same case, underscoring conflicting accounts of the immediate procedural status.
- The case stems from an FIR at Sadiqabad Police Station alleging protest-related offences, with the ATC having granted her interim bail on September 18 against Rs50,000 surety and a requirement to attend hearings.
- Aleema Khan traveled to Adiala Jail for the Toshakhana-II hearing for Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi, where defence arguments were scheduled for October 15 before a verdict to follow.
