A district and sessions court of Islamabad on Thursday approved the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Shahbaz Gill’srequest for exemption from attendance, but gave him a final warning to appear in the court at the next hearing. Additional Sessions Judge Tahir Abbas Sipra granted the exemption during a hearing. Shahbaz Gill was expected to be presented with copies of the challan against him. Gill’s lawyer told the court that his client was ill and could not travel which is why he should be granted an exemption from appearance.
