Toshakhana Case: Ex-Pak PM Imran Khan Moves Islamabad HC Against Bail Suspension

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chief and former Prime Minister of Pakistan, Imran Khan filed a petition in the Islamabad High Court on Tuesday challenging the suspension of his interim bails in the cases involving Toshakhana and 190 million pounds.
The accountability court cancelled the former prime minister’s temporary bail in the Toshakhana and 190-million-pound cases when he failed to appear on August 10.
Due to his Toshakhana case conviction, the PTI leader has been imprisoned since August 5. The Islamabad High Court then rejected the appeal of his conviction.
The brief order was issued by a divisional bench led by Islamabad High Court Chief Justice Aamir Farooq and composed of Justice Tariq Mehmood Jahangiri.
In its brief ruling, the IHC ordered the PTI chairman’s release on bail from Attock Jail and made note that it would explain the grounds for suspension of the sentence in the full ruling later.
Notably, the PTI leader asked the Islamabad High Court to overturn the accountability court’s judgment against him.
Imran Khan is currently imprisoned at Adiala Jail.
Earlier, an anti-terrorism court in Islamabad denied his bail requests in 3 cases because he was unable to appear in court. After the former prime minister failed to appear in court, ATC Judge Abul Hassan issued the reserved decisions in 3 instances and denied his bail requests.
