Pakistan former Prime Minister Imran Khan was granted bail for two days by Islamabad High Court on Friday in the alleged corruption case, a day after the Supreme Court called his arrest invalid and unlawful.
The Islamabad High Court upheld Mr Khan's arrest but a three-member Supreme Court bench on Thursday had declared his detention "illegal" and ordered his immediate release.
The Friday hearing was delayed for nearly two hours due to security reasons. The cricketer-turned-politician arrived back at the Islamabad High Court in a secure convoy and walked into the building flanked by dozens of police and paramilitaries.
"The court has granted Imran Khan a two weeks interim bail and has directed the authorities not to arrest him in the [graft] case," Mr Khan's lawyer Khawaja Harris was quoted saying by news agency AFP.
