Pakistan’s former prime minister Imran Khan has been granted bail by the Supreme Court in a case related to a lawyer’s murder, while the nation’s election oversight body demanded his arrest in a separate contempt case in which he failed to appear for questioning.

The developments are the latest in unprecedented legal problems surrounding the former premier, now the country’s top opposition leader.
