ISLAMABAD: A division bench of the Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Tuesday suspended the jail sentence of PTI Chairman Imran Khan and ordered him to be released on bail in the Toshakhana case.
A two-judge bench comprising Chief Justice Aamer Farooq and Justice Tariq Mehmood Jahangiri announced the short order that was reserved in the last hearing after listening to arguments from the two sides.
However, the court said that the written order would be issued later in which reasons for the suspension of the sentence would be mentioned, the official news agency reported.
Meanwhile, Imran Khan’s legal team also filed a petition with the IHC seeking to stop the arrest of the former prime minister in any other case.
The petition named NAB, FIA, and police as respondents in the case.
It is pertinent to mention here that the trial court had announced a three-year jail term along with a fine of Rs100,000 to the PTI chief in the Toshakhana case on August 5.
Imran Khan was shifted to Attock Jail after being arrested soon after the verdict was announced.
