ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court of Pakistan has constituted a three-member bench to hear the plea of former Prime Minister Imran Khan in the Toshakhana case on Wednesday, August 23.
Chief Justice Umar Ata Bandial will head the three member bench, and other members include Justice Mazahar Ali Akbar Naqvi and Justice Jamal Khan Mandokhail.
The Chairman of PTI, who is currently in Attock Jail, has lodged an appeal with the Supreme Court challenging the ruling of the Islamabad High Court. The Islamabad High Court had referred the matter concerning the maintainability of the criminal case back to the additional session court, which subsequently sentenced Imran Khan to three years in prison and a five-year disqualification from holding public office.
