Islamabad High Court Sets Hearing for Imran Khan’s Request in Toshakhana Case
Meanwhile, the Islamabad High Court is set to hear Imran Khan’s appeal in the Toshakhana case on Friday.
Imran Khan’s legal team filed a petition requesting an urgent hearing, and the IHC subsequently scheduled it with objections. Chief Justice Aamer Farooq will preside over the case.
The former prime minister stated that he had requested the court to withdraw his appeal filed in 2022, but the matter remains pending.
Although the decision in the case was reserved on September 13, more than two months and 10 days have passed without an announcement, according to the petition.
The Election Commission of Pakistan announced a decision against Imran Khan on October 21, 2022. After initially filing an appeal, the PTI chief submitted a request to withdraw his appeal to the IHC against the decision on January 18.
