Introduction:
Former Pakistani Prime Minister and PTI chief, Imran Khan, has been arrested and sentenced to three years in jail by a trial court in the Toshakhana case. The court found him guilty of corrupt practices and making an incorrect declaration before the Election Commission of Pakistan.
Arrest and Verdict:
Shortly after the trial court’s verdict, Imran Khan was arrested, and a fine of Rs100,000 was imposed on him. The court ordered his immediate arrest, leading to his transfer to Kot Lakhpat Jail as confirmed by the PTI’s Punjab chapter.
Maintainability and Transfer Requests:
The verdict comes amid Imran Khan’s contentions on both the maintainability of the case and repeated transfer requests based on perceived biasness of the judge. The trial court took up the matter again after the Islamabad High Court directed Imran Khan’s legal team to address the maintainability issue.
Guilty Verdict:
The trial court ruled that the charges against Imran Khan were proven, declaring him guilty of corrupt practices and making false statements before the Election Commission of Pakistan. The case was filed against him for concealing gifts he received during his term as prime minister from the Toshakhana.
Appeals and Petitions:
Imran Khan’s legal team has repeatedly approached the courts to challenge the jurisdiction of the trial court and raise questions against the judge’s decisions. However, the appeals have not been successful in transferring the case to another court.
