Former Prime Minister and PTI Founder Imran Khan and several other party leaders were on Wednesday acquitted in a case registered at Aabpara police station.
PTI lawyers, Advocate Sardar Masroof and Advocate Ansar Kayani, made the arguments in the case on behalf of the former prime minister and others.
Judicial Magistrate Yasir Mehmood of Islamabad District and Session Court announced the reserved verdict, clearing PTI top leaders including leader Shah Mahmood Qureshi, Sheikh Rashid, Shehryar Afridi, Faisal Javed, Raja Khurram Nawaz, Ali Nawaz Awan, and Asad Qaiser.
The case was registered against the PTI founder and other politicians for protesting against the ECP’s Toshakhana verdict in 2022, which disqualified him from holding office for a limited time.
PTI spokesperson expressed relief outside the court and reiterated the party’s commitment to respecting Pakistan’s judiciary and legal system.
The PTI founder has been in jail since last August and was convicted in some cases ahead of a nationwide election earlier this year. He is also fighting dozens of other cases.
