Judge in Toshakhana case denies he posted against Imran Khan on his Facebook page

Justice Humayun, the judge presiding over the Toshakhana trial, has disowned anti Imran Khan posts made on his Facebook page when he was sensationally shown the social media material by the former Prime Minister’s lawyers.

Imran Khan’s lawyer, Gohar Ali, showed the Facebook posts in court to argue that the Judge should not be hearing the case. In reply, Justice Humayun admitted that the Facebook page was his, however, he denied making the posts.

He also asked the PTI lawyer if he thought that a judicial inquiry should be made about the Facebook posts.

Gohar Ali replied that it was upto the judge to send the posts through a judicial inquiry, but stressed that it was appropriate if the court did not continue to hear the case.

The court reserved it’s verdict on the plea as well as another plea by Imran Khan to exempt him from in-person hearings.
