High Court Halts Verdict in Khan Corruption Case
News summary

The Islamabad High Court has intervened to halt a trial court from issuing a final verdict in the Al-Qadir Trust corruption case involving former Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi. The court's decision follows a petition from the couple arguing that recent amendments to anti-corruption laws invalidate the charges against them, which allege a loss of over Rs 50 billion to the national treasury. While the High Court has allowed the trial proceedings to continue, it has restrained the accountability court from reaching a final judgment until further notice. The case centers on accusations that Khan and Bibi received significant financial benefits from a property tycoon in exchange for the aforementioned loss. The Islamabad High Court has directed the couple's lawyers to submit relevant documents and scheduled the next hearing for September 26. The ruling represents a significant development in a case that has drawn considerable attention in Pakistan's political landscape.
