In the application, Babar Awan mentioned that Asad Umar is ready to be a part of the police investigation, and contended that the petitioner was present in a Lahore rally at the time when protest rallies were being held in different parts of the country. Additional Sessions Judge Zafar Abbas presided over the case and granted the PTI leader bail in lieu of a surety bond of Rs5,000. A day earlier, six PTI members were granted interim bail by the additional sessions court in the Section 144 violation case registered against them. They maintained that the provisions the leaders were charged under were bailable and pleaded that bail be granted.
