The Islamabad High Court (IHC) will resume hearing today of former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s petition seeking suspension of sentence by the trial court in the Toshakhana case.
A two-member bench, comprising Chief Justice Aamer Farooq and Justice Tariq Mehmood Jahangiri, is hearing the case, and in today’s hearing, the Election Commission of Pakistan’s (ECP) lawyer Amjad Parvez will give his arguments, as he was not present in the last hearing on Friday because of health reasons.
On the request of his assistant lawyer, the court postponed the hearing until today (Monday). Due to the lawyer’s unavailability, the court also instructed the electoral authorities to make other arrangements.
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) attorney, Latif Khosa, finished his arguments in the last hearing.
The IHC will announce the verdict tomorrow (Tuesday) at 11am.
Earlier, Judge Humayun Dilawar sentenced Imran Khan to three years imprisonment and fined him one lakh rupees. According to the judgement, “Charges of misdeclaration of assets have been proven against the PTI chairman.”
