PTI Chairman Imran Khan on Friday reached Lahore High Court (LHC) to extend his protective bail in five cases filed against him in Islamabad, including two for “vandalism” at the Islamabad Judicial Complex and high court.

The former premier had been granted protective bail in the five cases on March 17 when he secured protective bail in a total of nine cases — the four others being in Lahore.

Today, a two-member bench comprising Justice Tariq Saleem Sheikh and Justice Anwaar Hussain is hearing his plea.

As he arrived outside the court, Imran was asked by a reporter whether he thought the Election Commission of Pakistan’s deferral of the Punjab elections to October would be struck down by the Supreme Court.

“If the ECP decision is not quashed, how will elections take place in October?” he responded. “In this way, they can say they don’t have any money.”

“The law of the jungle is prevailing here,” he added.
