The Islamabad High Court rejected on Monday a plea by the PTI founder Imran Khan seeking an immediate stay order against his jail trial in the Toshakhana and the £190 million case.
IHC Chief Justice Aamer Farooq stated that any flaws in the trial against the former prime minister will be rectified. PTI’s counsel, Shoaib Shaheen, informed the court that the jail trial of the NAB cases is being conducted on a daily basis and 11 witnesses have recorded their statements.
Shaheen urged the court to issue an immediate stay order on the jail trials until the next hearing. Justice Aamer, however, replied that any further complaints would be heard at the next hearing and the federal government’s notification regarding the jail trial will be examined if it is per the law or not. Following this remark, Shaheen asked the additional attorney general to provide him a copy of the federal government’s notification issued for Imran’s jail trial.
