Overview
- The Islamabad High Court approved 10-day transit bail for Rajab Butt and Nadeem Nani Wala and directed them to seek remedies from the relevant trial courts within that period.
- Justice Inam Ameen Minhas declined a request for 15 days after the defense cited an additional case registered in Karachi.
- Butt was expelled from the United Kingdom after the Home Office revoked his visa, originally valid until 2027, over failure to disclose pending legal cases.
- British investigators briefly detained both men on anonymous terrorism complaints before clearing them of such allegations, after which Butt’s documents were referred for immigration review.
- The pair arrived in Islamabad on Tuesday night under protective bail that prevented arrest at the airport, while cybercrime investigations linked to a gambling application continue.
