Islamabad: The Islamabad High Court on Tuesday suspended Imran Khan’s conviction and three-year sentence in the Toshakhana corruption case and ordered his release, in a big relief for the former jailed Pakistan prime minister.
A division bench comprising Islamabad High Court (IHC) Chief Justice Aamir Farooq and Justice Tariq Mehmood Jahangiri announced the much-anticipated verdict which was reserved on Monday.
“Decision of District Court (has been) suspended by IHC,” Khan’s party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) said in a short WhatsApp message.
