Islamabad:Imran Khan’s legal team made a significant mistake by not requesting the suspension of the trial court’s August 5 judgment that led to his imprisonment in the Toshakhana corruption case, a leading advocate has said as the former Pakistan prime minister remains in jail despite a higher court suspending his three-year-sentence.
Despite the Islamabad High Court’s order, the 70-year-old chairman of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party remains in Attock jail and cannot contest the upcoming general elections as his conviction and disqualification in the Toshakhana corruption case remain intact, according to legal experts.
