Earlier, the Islamabad High Court on Monday reserved its judgement on PTI chairman’s appeal against his sentence in the Toshakhana criminal case.
A division bench comprising IHC Chief Justice Aamir Farooq and Justice Tariq Mehmood Jahangiri started hearing the appeal. The lawyer of the election commission, Amjad Pervaiz, presented arguments. He was unable to attend the previous hearing due to his health issue.
The chief justice had ordered Pervaiz to ensure his presence at the next hearing. The court had remarked that if he remained absent, a verdict would be pronounced based on the available record.
