The Islamabad High Court will hear Imran Khan’s appeal in the Toshakhana case on Friday.

Khan’s lawyers had filed a petition asking for the matter to be fixed urgently for hearing after which the IHC scheduled it with objections. Chief Justice Aamer Farooq will hear the case.

The former prime minister had maintained that he had requested the court to withdraw his appeal filed in 2022 but the matter was still pending.

The decision in the case was reserved on September 13 but has not been announced despite the lapse of two months and 10 days, the petition says.

The Election Commission of Pakistan had announced a decision against Imran Khan on October 21, 2022. After initially filing an appeal, the PTI chief had filed a request to withdraw his appeal in the IHC against the decision on January 18.
