ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Friday directed authorities to submit a report on the registered cases against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Salman Akram Raja in Punjab and Islamabad.

The court also barred authorities from arresting the petitioner until further orders.Chief Justice Aamer Farooq presided over the hearing of the petition filed by Salman Akram Raja, who sought details of the cases registered against him.

In response, the court issued notices to the relevant respondents and sought the details. The hearing was adjourned until next week.
