ISLAMABAD: Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) Judge Tahir Abbas Supra on Tuesday granted interim bail to opposition leader Omar Ayub in eight different cases registered against the PTI leadership on November 26 and directed him to undergo investigation.

During the hearing, Omar Ayub appeared in court along with his lawyers and submitted an application for pre-arrest bail in eight cases.

Judge Tahir Abbas Supra said that now, after four to five months, he remembered that bails have to be obtained, to which the lawyer said that we have already obtained bails in many cases, and now these eight cases have been identified.
