Imran Khan and his wife requested the court to set aside their conviction and sentences by an accountability court earlier this month and stressed that the verdict lacked credible evidence and suffered from procedural lapses.
Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan held a conversation with his lawyers and representatives of media at Adiala Jail where he defended the Al Qadir Trust, cases against his wife Bushra Bibi and gave a call for the establishment of a judicial commission in the country.
PTI Central Information Secretary Sheikh Waqqas Akram said that the party will file an appeal in the high court at the earliest, in order to quash the ruling and correct the egregious miscarriage of justice.
Khan called the judicial process a "mockery" of justice and said that the individuals who wrote the judgement leaked it to the media, undermining the integrity of the legal system.
The verdict in the GBP 190 million case involving imprisoned Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan is now set to be announced on January 13, according to Islamabad's accountability court staff on Monday, The News International reported.
The PTI and the government started the negotiation process at the Parliament House in Islamabad with "hopes of a positive outcome" with an aim to ease the country's political tensions.
While presiding over the hearing today, judge Nasir Javed Rana said, "The verdict will not be announced today; [winter] vacations are coming and there is also a course at the high court."
Ahead of the December 23 verdict in the Al-Qadir Trust case involving Imran Khan, Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has again accused the former prime minister of financial corruption linked to the GBP 190 million case, renewing claims that Imran misappropriated funds for personal gain.
