Additional District and Sessions Judge Zafar Iqbal pronounced the reserved verdict.
Gill was arrested on August 9 in Islamabad after a sedition case was filed against him for inciting mutiny within the Pakistan Army. He was already facing sedition charges, but the Islamabad Police last week also registered a case against the PTI leader over possession of an illegal weapon.
His bail in the arms recovery case has already been approved.
Gill was booked in the case after police raided the incarcerated PTI leader's room in Parliament Lodges late Monday where they recovered weapons, a satellite phone, and foreign currency.
The PTI has repeatedly demanded that the party leader be released on bail, alleging that he is facing humiliation, torture and sexual abuse in police custody.
Gill, during the raid at his Parliament Lodge's residence, also told journalists that he had been sexually assaulted.
The party leader also asserted that he was denied treatment for asthma; however, the federal government and police have refuted the allegations.
During the visit, the prime minister would also distribute cheques of cash relief assistance among the flood-stricken people.
The PM has also been briefed by the relevant authorities on the damages and relief operations in the area. PM have also been informed about the relief camps arranged for the flood affected.
Apart from reviewing the relief work, the Prime Minister also met the flood victims.
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.
