Islamabad: An appeal of Chairman Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) against punishment in the toshakhana case has been fixed for hearing tomorrow.

Two member divisional bench headed by Chief Justice Amir Farooq and Justice Tariq Mahmood Jahangiri will hear the case.

A district and sessions court had sentenced Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan for three years in the Toshakhana case and police arrested him from his Zaman Park residence in Lahore.

Additional Sessions Judge Humayun Dilawar, while announcing its reserved judgment in the Toshakhana reference filed by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) against the PTI chairman, declared the PTI chief guilty of corrupt practices and imposed a fine of Rs100,000 on him for concealing details of Toshakhana gifts.

According to the written orders of the court, since no body argued application filed by the accused questioning maintainability of complaint, hence on this score and on the basis of earlier findings in order dated May 5, 2023 and July 8, 2023 the said application is dismissed.
