In a significant development, the Islamabad High Court (IHC) has granted protective bail to businessman Rajab Butt, providing temporary relief amid ongoing legal proceedings against him.
The court’s decision ensures that Rajab Butt cannot be arrested while his petition for permanent bail is under consideration. Legal experts note that protective bail is often granted to safeguard individuals from immediate arrest until their cases are heard in detail.
Rajab Butt’s legal team expressed relief over the decision, stating that it allows their client to prepare for upcoming hearings without fear of detention. The case has garnered media attention due to its high-profile nature and the controversies surrounding it.
Observers say the court’s intervention highlights the judiciary’s role in balancing legal proceedings with the protection of individual rights. The next hearing in the matter is scheduled in the coming weeks.
