Islamabad High Court (IHC) Chief Justice Aamer Farooq announced that a verdict on the jail trial of PTI Chairman Imran Khan is expected to be given within the next two to three days. The court has already reserved its decision on an appeal made by Khan against the trial. The case revolves around a petition filed by Khan seeking an early resolution regarding his jail trial in a cipher case.
During the hearing, Sher Afzal Marawat, the lawyer representing Khan, informed the court that while the trial had already begun, a decision on the plea against the jail trial was still pending.
Chief Justice Farooq responded to this by stating that the court is likely to issue the verdict in a few days. He also mentioned that he was aware of objections raised by the PTI regarding the transfer of Khan to Adiala Jail. Marawat clarified that no official statement had been made regarding the objections, but they had expected Khan to be given B-class facilities, which were not provided.
The chief justice acknowledged that the jail administration may have granted better facilities to Khan but reminded everyone that the court had already served notice to respondents in a separate case filed by Sardar Latif Khosa Advocate.
The verdict on Khan’s jail trial has generated significant interest, and people are eagerly awaiting the court’s decision. The chief justice’s remarks indicate that the judgment will be delivered soon, ending the uncertainty surrounding the case.
Overall, the IHC’s chief justice has provided some clarity regarding the timeline for the verdict on Imran Khan’s jail trial. With the decision expected within the next few days, it remains to be seen how it will impact Khan’s legal situation and the ongoing political landscape.
