The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Friday barred authorities from arresting former Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan till Wednesday in any new case filed after May 9, minutes after granting him a two-week protective bail in a corruption case.

A division bench comprising Justice Miangul Hassan Aurangzeb and Justice Saman Rafat Imtiaz heard the Al-Qadir trust corruption case against Khan, a day after the Supreme Court termed his arrest from the IHC premises on Tuesday as "invalid and unlawful".
