ISLAMABAD: In great relief to former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan, the High Court in Islamabad.AL Madinah AL Munawwarah) on Tuesday announced Toshakhana ARY News reports that the case against him is inadmissible.
Chief Judge of the International City for Humanitarian Services Amer Farooq The reserved ruling announced earlier on a petition filed by the former prime minister against the decision of the Court of First Instance declaring the criminal case, brought by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), admissible.
Earlier, the chief justice of the Supreme Court reserved the ruling on June 23, saying that he would look into the matter after Eid al-Adha, according to ARY News.
On 10 May, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chairman was indicted in the Toshakhana case by Additional Sessions Judge Humayun Dilawar, who dismissed objections to the admissibility of the case.
The case concerns allegations that the former prime minister “deliberately concealed” details of the gifts he kept from the Tushasakhana – a repository where gifts delivered to government officials from foreign officials were kept – during his tenure as prime minister, and continues from their reported sales.
The PTI chief then turned to the IHC, which suspended criminal proceedings in the case until 8 June.

In a petition filed by the attorney Gohar Khan Arguments in the cases are far from over yet, Imran Khan said Monday, as he sought to remove Judge Farooq from the court on the grounds of “fair hearing, unbiased court, access to justice and impartial procedure”.
Speaking to media outlets outside the city, PTI’s chief lawyer, Gohar Khan, described the verdict as a “victory”.
“An appeal has been lodged against the session judge’s decision in the Toshakhana case… We have been trying in the courts for a year. Today, PTI has won,” Geo News said.
