• A court in Lahore ruled that former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan cannot be arrested before 10:00 AM on Thursday.
• Security forces withdrew from near Khan's residence in Lahore due to a cricket match scheduled for Wednesday in the city.

The Lahore High Court ordered police to stop arresting former Prime Minister Imran Khan until 10:00 (05:00 GMT) Thursday.

The court heard a petition from Pakistan's Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader, Fawad Chaudhry, calling for an end to the “atrocities” at the Khan Zaman Park residence in Lahore.

The Islamabad Supreme Court is also expected to rule on another PTI indictment of Khan's arrest warrant on Wednesday.
