On August 9, Gill was arrested from Banigala Chowk in the capital a day after making controversial remarks on a private TV channel. He was subsequently booked on charges of sedition and inciting members of state institutions against the Pakistan Army.
At the outset of the hearing, the Islamabad Capital City Police presented the case record in court as directed by the judge at the last hearing of his bail plea.
Additional District and Sessions judge Zafar Iqbal resumed the hearing on the bail plea this morning.
During the hearing, Gill's lawyer Burhan Moazzam asked if he can see the case records submitted in court by inspector Arshad.
The court directed the inspector to show the record to the lawyer. However, prosecutor Raja Rizwan Abbasi objected that they cannot show the supplementary challan of the case.
Later, the court adjourned the hearing shortly.
After the hearing restarted, Gill's lawyer maintained that the police didn't show the statement recorded under Section 161.
"The police is showing all statements except for Gill's," the lawyer said.
At this, the court directed the police to show Gill's initial statement to the defence lawyer.
