After the rejection of the bail plea, Asim Aziz, the owner of illegal Abdullah City, was arrested from the courtroom by the officials of Police Station, Civil Lines. A division bench of LHC comprising   Justice Sadaqat Ali Khan and Justice Shahid Mehmood Abbasi conducted hearing in the bail plea filed by Asim Aziz through his lawyer.
