Islamabad: The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan’s request that the trial court’s Additional District and Sessions Judge (ADSJ) Humayun Dilawar suspend his punishment in the Toshakhana case heard again on Monday by the Islamabad High Court (IHC).
Chief Justice Aamer Farooq and Justice Tariq Mehmood Jahangiri are in charge of the hearing. The lawyer for the Election Commission of Pakistan, Amjad Parvez, who was sick at the last hearing on Friday and couldn’t make it to court, is presenting his arguments.
Last week, at the request of his junior lawyer, the court put off the hearing until today, Monday, and told the ECP lawyer to make his case today. It also told the election authority to come up with other plans because the lawyer wasn’t available.
Latif Khosa, a lawyer for the PTI, finished making his case at the last meeting.
Khan given a three-year prison term and a fine of Rs100,000 by a trial court earlier this month.
Khan didn’t agree with the decision, so he went to the IHC and asked for his release and for his conviction to be put on hold. In the same case, ECP had also made a private complaint against Khan.
