Former prime minister Imran Khan was granted bail in Islamabad on Wednesday in £190 million corruption case on Wednesday but will have to stay in jail to serve time in two other cases.
The former cricket superstar was indicted last week on charges that he and his wife were gifted land by a real estate developer when Khan was prime minister from 2018-22 in exchange for illegal favours.
In its short order today, the court ordered the authorities to release the former prime minister against the surety bonds of Rs1 million.
The verdict was announced by IHC Chief Justice Aamer Farooq verbally, however, the written decision would be issued later.
Khan, who denies wrongdoing, had filed a bail application before Islamabad High Court.
Imran Khan needs to secure bail in 'illegal' nikkah and Toshakhana cases to come out of jail.
Khan, 71, has been in jail since August last year. In total, he has been convicted in four cases, but sentences in two cases have been suspended.
