ATC Orders Seizure of Aleema Khan’s Surety Bonds After Missed Appearance

The Rawalpindi court escalated enforcement in the Nov. 26 protest case, scheduling a Dec. 15 hearing after her no‑show.

Overview

  • Prosecutors won confiscation of two surety bonds worth Rs1 million each after Aleema Khan and her lawyer were absent when the case was called.
  • Notices were issued on bailable arrest warrants and possible cancellation of bail, and guarantors were summoned for recovery of the amount.
  • The court adjourned proceedings to December 15, after which Aleema Khan and her counsel appeared to mark attendance.
  • Separately, the judge served a contempt notice over an unpaid Rs80,000 fine and issued bailable arrest warrants tied to her late appearance.
  • In parallel, Aleema Khan has a contempt petition in the Islamabad High Court alleging denial of court‑ordered access to Imran Khan, with recent protests outside Adiala Jail where police used a water cannon to disperse a sit‑in.
