In the corruption case known as Toosha Khana, Imran Khan, the Chairman of PTI (Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf), has been sentenced to three years in prison and declared ineligible for a period of five years. The court found him guilty of submitting a false statement under oath and engaging in corrupt practices. The verdict was delivered by the Session Court in Islamabad, marking the final decision in the Toosha Khana corruption case.
In this case, Imran Khan, as the Chairman of PTI, has been pronounced guilty of corrupt practices. Judge Hameyun Dilaawar, while delivering the judgment, confirmed that the allegations against Imran Khan in the Toosha Khana case have been proven. The court has dismissed the defense's claim of non-compliance made by PTI.
The Chairman of PTI has been sentenced to three years in prison and declared ineligible for a duration of five years, along with a fine of one lakh rupees. Moreover, the request put forth by PTI Chairman Imran Khan regarding the inadmissibility of the Toosha Khana case has been rejected by the court.
The hearing related to the Toosha Khana corruption case, involving PTI Chairman Imran Khan, took place in the District and Session Court, where the lawyers representing the Election Commission, Amjad Parvez, and Saad Hassan, were present.
During the hearing, Judge Hameyun Dilaawar inquired if any lawyer from PTI's side was present, and upon not finding any, the court called the case again for the second time. Judge Hameyun Dilaawar then asked Amjad Parvez, the lawyer representing the Election Commission, to say something, even reciting a verse if he wished. In response, lawyer Amjad Parvez recited a verse:
Furthermore, during the proceedings, lawyer Amjad Parvez requested for additional time, and the judge assured him of another opportunity for a fair trial. As a result, the court adjourned the hearing.
The Session Court's hearing of the Toosha Khana case commenced after a series of adjournments. Present in Judge Hameyun Dilaawar's court were the lawyers representing the Election Commission, while the PTI lawyers were notably absent. Consequently, the court decided to reserve its judgment in the case, with Judge Hameyun Dilaawar announcing that the verdict would be delivered at 12:30 PM.
It's worth mentioning that Imran Khan's legal team had previously requested the disqualification of Additional Session Judge Hameyun Dilaawar.
Imran Khan further alleged that certain posts were made against him on Judge Hameyun Dilaawar's Facebook account, raising concerns about receiving fair treatment. However, the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) countered this claim, asserting that the posts attributed to the PTI Chairman were not made from Judge Hameyun Dilaawar's account. The FIA submitted a technical analysis report to the Islamabad High Court as evidence.
According to the FIA's report, there is no URL available for the alleged Facebook posts. Facebook automatically generates a unique URL for every profile, page, and post, making it impossible to identify posts without a valid URL.
A comprehensive analysis was conducted on all the posts from Judge Hameyun Dilaawar's Facebook account, and the report confirmed that none of the three mentioned posts were found on his account.
Judge Hameyun Dilaawar's Facebook account with his name has a valid URL and was created in 2014. The account primarily contains personal posts. According to the report, the FIA received three screenshots from the Islamabad High Court, showing two alleged screenshots dated July 21, 2014, and one from March 1, 2014.
In the Toosha Khana case, Imran Khan has taken his appeal to the Supreme Court to challenge the decision of the Islamabad High Court, which was announced yesterday. According to the details, Imran Khan, the Chairman of PTI, lodged the appeal against the verdict of the Toosha Khana case issued by the Islamabad High Court. Former Prime Minister Imran Khan submitted this appeal through his lawyer, Khawaja Haris, who acted as an intermediary.
The appeal highlights that the decision of the Islamabad High Court on the petitions is deemed incorrect, and the matter of its admissibility has been referred back to Judge Hameyun Dilaawar. However, Judge Hameyun Dilaawar has already expressed a clear stance on the issue of admissibility, and as per the appeal, the case's admissibility cannot be reconsidered by him.
In the appeal, Imran Khan's legal team requested the Islamabad High Court's order to be declared null and void.
It is worth mentioning that the Islamabad High Court, in a recent development, referred the matter of the admissibility of the Toosha Khana case back to the trial court, overturning the decision made by the Session Court. Imran Khan's appeal in the Toosha Khana case was the subject of the High Court's verdict. The verdict pertained to five petitions filed by Imran Khan in the Toosha Khana case. The High Court ruled that the admissibility of the case would be re-heard and decided by Additional Session Judge Hameyun Dilaawar.
Imran Khan's request to transfer the case to another court was dismissed by the Islamabad High Court, which also issued a notice regarding the request to dismiss the list of witnesses. As for the termination of the right to defense, the trial court has requested a response from the prosecution, which is expected to be submitted by next week, in response to the Chairman of PTI's request.
