The IHC has suspended the conviction of the PTI chairman in the Toshakhana case.
The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Monday suspended Imran Khan's sentence in the Toshakhana case and ordered his release.
There has been a directive to submit a Rs0.1 million surety bond by the chairman of the PTI.
Aamir Farooq announced he would issue the written order as soon as possible.
Imran Khan's appeal against his three-year prison sentence in the Toshakhana case was reserved yesterday by the Islamabad High Court.
Justices Aamir Farooq and Tariq Mehmood Jahangiri reserved the verdict and announced it today (Tuesday) at 11 a.m.
In the Toshakhana criminal case, the International Human Rights Court resumed hearing PTI Chairman Imran Khan's appeal.
The proceedings are being overseen by a division bench led by Chief Justice Aamir Farooq and Justice Tariq Mehmood Jahangiri.
After Amjad Pervaiz's health prevented him from attending the previous hearing, the court requested arguments from him.
Pervaiz was instructed to attend the next hearing. A verdict would be rendered based on the available evidence if he didn't attend.
Latif Khosa, Salman Akram Raja, Gohar Ali Khan, Ali Zafar, and Sher Afzal Marwat are members of Imran Khan's legal team. The sisters of Imran Khan, Aleema and Uzma Khan, are also involved.
Imran Khan's legal counsel, Barrister Gohar, requested a meeting with his client. According to the chief justice of the IHC, the court will announce its decision on the appeal today.
In his asset details, Amjad Pervaiz, Imran Khan's lawyer, claimed that the information about Toshakhana was concealed. In his appeal, he opposed the suspension of the sentence. Referring to the Rahul Gandhi case, he also emphasized the need for a notice to the public prosecutor.
Pervaiz said that Gandhi's appeal against the sentence was rejected, just as it was in the Rahul Gandhi case where a two-year sentence was given in response to a private complaint.
The Criminal Procedure Code does not mention including the complainant in an application seeking sentence suspension, he argued.
It was requested that Pervaiz's side of the story not be left out of the hearing without the state being notified.
He also discussed the Parvez Elahi case, mentioning that he wasn't opposing the plea for suspension. In his statement, he stressed the need for a notice from the public prosecutor.
In NAB cases, a complainant is not a party, and the state does not appear; only a bureau prosecutor is heard.
Pervaiz stated that the law does not mention the term "complainant"; only the state is mentioned.
There was no judgment in which a magistrate was summoned for corrupt practices.
The other party countered that the complaint was not filed in the proper forum, so it couldn't be sustained. There was a back-and-forth argument as a result.
According to the ECP counsel, the judge in the Toshakhana case was also harassed. This was the first case where the suspect wasn't allowed to defend himself, according to the defense.
As stated by the lawyer for the ECP, all members of the ECP agreed that the complaint should be filed unanimously as a result of their discussions.
On August 26, the FIA initiated an investigation into Imran Khan in relation to allegations of cybercrime. There was a case involving the US cipher and the disappearance of the cipher that was attributed to this case.
There were questions by FIA officers about the disappearance and the illegal use of the cipher that Imran Khan was in possession of.
As well as him, PTI Vice Chairman Shah Mahmood Qureshi was charged with misusing and misplacing the cipher.
Imran Khan has been sentenced to prison by the Islamabad Sessions Court for his involvement in the Toshakhana case.
