A district and session court on Monday resumed the hearing for Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Shahbaz Gill’s bail plea in the sedition case against him.

At the outset of Monday’s proceedings, the Capital police presented the record sought by the court in the previous hearing.

Additional District and Sessions judge Zafar Iqbal led the case and directed the police to show the record to the petitioner’s lawyer upon his request.

During the proceeding, Gill’s counsel maintained that the PTI leader could never think of treason and said that the transcript misquoted him.
