Toshakhana judge disowns posts made from his Facebook account

The Toshakhana trial took a new turn on Tuesday as Imran Khan’s lawyers expressed distrust in the presiding judge.

Imran Khan’s lawyer, Gohar Ali, showed Facebook posts from Judge Humayun Dilawar’s account to argue that he should not hear the case.

In response, Dilawar said that the account was indeed his own but he had not made the posts.

He also asked the PTI lawyer if he thought that a judicial inquiry should be made about the Facebook posts.

Gohar Ali replied that it was upto the judge to send the posts through a judicial inquiry, but it was appropriate if the court did not continue to hear the case.

The court reserved decision on Imran Khan’s request of exmeption from in-person hearing as well as the regarding PTI’s concerns about the judge.
