lslamabad: The The Islamabad High Court (IHC )will pronounce the petition of PTI chairman Imran Khan seeking annulling district and session court verdict today at 11 am.
The Islamabad High Court (IHC) yesterday (Monday) reserved verdict hearing Pakistan Tehreek-e- Insaf chief petition for annulling the district and session court decision.
A two-member bench, comprising Chief Justice Aamer Farooq and Justice Tariq Mehmood Jahangiri, heard the case while Election Commission of Pakistan`s lawyer, Amjad Parvez, who wasn`t able to appear before the court due to ill health at the last hearing on Friday, is presenting his arguments.
Last week , the court had adjourned the hearing till Monday (today) on the request of his assistant counsel and ordered the ECP counsel to present arguments today. It had also directed the electoral authority to make alternative arrangements due to the unavailability of the lawyer.
PTI lawyer, Latif Khosa, completed his arguments in the last hearing.
Earlier this month, a trial court had sentence Khan to three-year in prison and imposed a fine of Rs100,000 earlier this month.
Khan challenged the verdict and approached the IHC for his release and suspension of the conviction. ECP, meanwhile, had filed a private complaint against Khan in the same case.
