Notably, Shehbaz's counsel submitted an application seeking exemption for him from personal appearance as the opposition leaders are busy in the country's top court following the constitutional crises over the no-trust motion against Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan.

Judges rejected the FIA's bail cancellation application. The FIA had filed the application on the ground that no legal provision is available that gives concession to an accused to be absent from court at the bail stage, reported the newspaper. (ANI)
