During the hearing, Khan's counsel urged the Islamabad High Court to consider his release on humanitarian grounds, citing his prolonged solitary confinement and health issues, including an eye infection. The court, led by Chief Justice Sardar Muhammad Sarfraz Dogar, is also considering applications to suspend the sentences while the appeals are pending. The case has faced numerous delays, with the defence arguing that it has been over 16 months since the initial conviction, and they have not received any relief despite multiple hearings.
