A two-member bench comprising Justice Tariq Saleem Shaikh and Justice Anwar Hussain accepted the former premier's plea and extended his protective bail until March 27.
During the hearing, the PTI chief came to the rostrum and recalled how he could not reach the Judicial Complex for a hearing on March 18 as stones were pelted and shells were fired.
"My life was in danger, despite all effort, I couldn't reach the court," he said.
The government's counsel implored the court to ask the accused to pursue his case with the Islamabad court. However, the LHC overruled the objection and adjourned the hearing till the given date.
Earlier today, a Islamabad court converted non-bailable arrest warrants against Imran into bailable warrants in the case lodged against him for allegedly threatening a woman judge.
