ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan’s counsel requested the court to transfer the acquittal plea in the Toshakhana-II case to another bench.

During the hearing in Islamabad High Court (IHC) today, Barrister Safdar submitted the transfer request, stating that a senior judge of the High Court had previously heard a similar case.

Justice Raja Inam Amin Minhas conducted the hearing on the acquittal pleas of former premier Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi in the new Toshakhana case.

Defense counsel Barrister Salman Safdar and FIA prosecutor Umair Majeed appeared before the court.

“I am submitting my request in court per my client’s instructions. This case has already been heard by a very senior judge of this High Court,” Khan’s lawyer argued.

Barrister Safdar further referred to the Iddat case, stating that a transfer order was issued on similar grounds as the case was transferred to another bench.

He emphasised his client’s instructions and pointed out the availability of senior judges in the High Court.

Subsequently, Justice Minhas adjourned the Toshakhana-II case, deferring the decision on the acquittal petitions.
