In an interesting development, arrest warrants have been issued for the judge who convicted the founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Imran Khan, in the Toshakhana reference. Justice Humayun Dilawar’s arrest warrants have been issued in a land-grabbing case by a judicial magistrate in Bannu, who also issued arrest warrants for the judge’s brother, father, and registrar.
The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Anti-Corruption Establishment (ACE) has been directed to arrest and present the judge in court.
Special Assistant on Anti-Corruption to KP CM Musaddiq Abbasi confirmed the development saying that the suspect “illegally” registered government land for their housing society.
Imran Khan was arrested last year from his Zaman Park residence in Lahore soon after being convicted in the Toshakhana reference and given a sentence of three years in jail with a fine of Rs 100,000.
However, the Islamabad High Court (IHC) suspended Khan’s sentence in the same reference in April 2024.
