New Delhi: In a relief to Pakistan's former prime minister Imran Khan, the Islamabad High Court here on Tuesday extended his bail pleas until June 8 in two cases pertaining to making allegations against top officers of state institutions and manhandling of PML-N leader Mohsin Ranjha by PTI workers, according to Pakistan-based Dawn.

Imran's lawyer Barrister Gohar appeared in court and requested Imran's exemption from personal appearance. The court has approved the request.

Meanwhile, the Lahore High Court today reserved its verdict on Khan’s plea against his arrest in any case registered against him following his arrest in the Al-Qadir Trust corruption case that sparked violent protests by his supporters, Dawn reported.

On Monday, Khan appeared before the Lahore High Court, along with his wife Bushra Bibi, who was granted pre-arrest bail till May 23 by the high court in the Al-Qadir Trust case.

"The LHC granted pre-arrest bail to Bushra Bibi till May 23 in the Al-Qadir Trust case. The court, however, fixed Khan's bail plea for Tuesday in the terrorism cases registered against him after May 9 violence. The LHC Registrar's Office has raised an objection for not attaching the arrested copies of Supreme Court and Islamabad High Court orders," a court official told PTI.

Additionally, a district and sessions court in Islamabad adjourned till June 8 the hearing of the Toshakhana case against the PTI chief after Khan’s lawyer submitted a copy of the stay order issued by the Islamabad High Court in the case.

The PTI chairman was granted a blanket relief from different benches of IHC that not only barred the authorities from arresting him but also stayed his trial in the Toshakhana case until the second week of June.

Last week, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief got interim bail in six cases registered against him for torching the house of the Corps Commander Lahore and other incidents of violence erupted after his arrest.

As Khan is facing over 100 cases, Bushra is nominated in two cases -- Toshakhana (gifts) and the Al-Qadir Trust case.
