A three-member bench headed by Chief Justice Yahya Afridi overturned the Lahore High Court’s earlier decision that had denied Khan’s bail pleas. The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) hailed the verdict as a “victory” for their leader.
However, Khan will remain in jail as he still faces charges in the high-profile Al-Qadir Trust corruption case. His legal team says further proceedings are ongoing to secure his release from the remaining cases, including Toshakhana-related convictions.
This ruling marks a major development in Pakistan’s political and legal landscape as Imran Khan continues to challenge his imprisonment amidst multiple charges.
