ISLAMABAD: A local court Saturday upheld the maintainability of the Toshakhana case against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan.
Additional District and Sessions Judge (ADSJ), Islamabad, Humayun Dilawar, announced the reserved verdict, with the hearing set to take place on July 12. The witnesses have also been summoned on the same day.
The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) had, on October 21 last year, disqualified the former prime minister in the Toshakhana reference under Article 63(1)(p) of the Constitution for making “false statements and incorrect declaration”.
A trial court then, in May this year, rejected the petition of Khan — the first prime minister to be voted out of office through a no-trust vote — challenging the maintainability of the reference.
