The Hindu  

A court in Islamabad on March 6 reserved its verdict on a petition filed by Pakistan's former Prime Minister Imran Khan against the suspension of his non-bailable warrant in the Toshakhana case. Mr. Khan’s lawyers Ali Bukhari, Qaiser Imam, and Gohar Ali Khan appeared before the district and sessions court, where Bukhari contended that his client has always followed court orders. However, Imam told the judge that they wanted the sessions court to suspend the warrant while Mr. Bukhari added that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chief was at his Zaman Park residence in Lahore. The PTI chief approached the Lahore High Court on Sunday for post-arrest bail after an Islamabad police team arrived at his Zaman Park residence to arrest him for skipping proceedings in the Toshakhana case.
