Imran Khan Gets Bail in Toshakhana Graft Case, High Court Stays Verdict

The Islamabad High Court on Tuesday stayed a sessions court verdict that had sentenced Imran Khan to three years in jail in the Toshakhana case and granted the former Pakistan Prime Minister bail in the case.

Imran Khan’s aide on legal affairs Naeem Haider Panjotha posted on X, “The CJ has accepted our request, suspended the sentence and said a detailed decision would be provided later.”

On August 5, Imran Khan was convicted and sentenced to jail 5 for three years. He was accused of unlawfully selling state gifts acquired by him and his family during his 2018-2022 tenure as the Prime Minister.

Because of this verdict of the lower court, Imran Khan remains barred from politics for five years, preventing him from contesting an upcoming election.
