Islamabad High Court To Hear Imran Khan'S Sentence Suspension Plea

The Islamabad High Court (IHC) has recently admitted appeals filed by former Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, against their convictions in the Toshakhana-II case, removing all objections to the appeals and directing that they be formally numbered for hearing. During the proceedings, Barrister Salman Safdar highlighted that the Registrar’s Office had raised unwarranted objections without their knowledge, which included claims about outdated power of attorney documents. Justice Khadim Hussain Soomro remarked that the court was addressing these objections and granted seven days for their resolution. This development comes as the IHC is also set to hear the couple's sentence suspension petitions in the £190 million Al-Qadir Trust case on March 11, 2026, after a year of pending requests for an expedited hearing. Safdar emphasized Khan's ongoing health issues, stating he was suffering from an eye condition and required hospital treatment, which adds urgency to the suspension petitions that have been pending for nearly a year.
