Announcing the judgement, Islamabad High Court Chief Justice Aamer Farooq ordered the session court to decide the matter of maintainability again after a fresh hearing of the case.
In a relief for Imran Khan, a Pakistani High Court on Friday set aside a lower court’s verdict to uphold the maintainability of the Toshakhana corruption case for criminal proceedings against the former Prime Minister.
The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Thursday reserved the judgment on multiple petitions by Mr. Khan, 70, against his trial by a district court in the case of sale of state gifts.
Announcing the judgement, IHC Chief Justice Aamer Farooq on Friday also ordered the session court to decide the matter of maintainability again after a fresh hearing of the case.
On Friday, Pakistan's Supreme Court dismissed Mr. Khan’s plea against trial proceedings in the corruption case in which the former premier is accused of concealing details of the gifts he retained from the state repository, as he withdrew the case.
While dismissing the plea in the Toshakhana case, the apex court observed that the application seeking the transfer of the case to another court was underway in the IHC.
The court expressed the hope that the trial and the IHC will make decisions as per the law.
The Toshakhana is a department under the administrative control of the Cabinet Division and stores precious gifts given to rulers, parliamentarians, bureaucrats, and officials by heads of other governments and states and foreign dignitaries.
