The legal battle of former Prime Minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan has started once again.
Three cases against former Prime Minister Imran Khan were to be heard on Tuesday, but due to ill health, he did not appear before any court.
Imran Khan has been ordered by the Sessions Court and the Banking Court to ensure attendance at the next hearing.
On Tuesday, the criminal case against Imran Khan was heard in the Tosha Khana reference, in which the court set the date of indictment on February 7, while the banking court extended his bail till the next hearing.
Which cases are pending against Imran Khan?
Many cases are pending against Imran Khan in different courts of the country. According to legal experts, the most important case against Imran Khan is the criminal case related to non-disclosure of Tosha Khana's gifts among assets.
The Sessions Court of Islamabad is trying Imran Khan on the request of the Election Commission for allegedly committing corrupt practices.
In this case, the Election Commission has de-seated the former Prime Minister for hiding the gifts of Tosha Khana in his assets, while referring to the Sessions Court for criminal proceedings.
The Election Commission has filed a criminal case under 137 and 170 of the Election Act. If convicted in this case, the punishment can be up to three years imprisonment or fine.
According to legal expert Shah Khawar, if the criminal case is proved, there will be not only punishment, but the sword of disqualification is also hanging on Imran Khan.
Alleged daughter hiding case
A case against Imran Khan is also pending in the Islamabad High Court. In which a citizen has filed a request for action against the alleged hiding of his daughter on behalf of the former prime minister.
In the petition of the citizen, the position has been taken that Imran Khan has hidden the alleged daughter in his nomination papers, so action should be taken against him.
The court has sought a response from the former prime minister, but his lawyer has repeatedly asked for time to submit the response. The sword of disqualification hangs over Imran Khan even if he is found guilty in this case.
According to Shah Khawar, if the case is proved, former prime minister Sadiq and Amin will be disqualified because the petitioner has challenged the nomination papers and lying in the nomination papers can lead to lifelong disqualification.
Petition to Banking Court against obtaining prohibited funding
A case filed by FIA against Imran Khan and his associates is pending in the banking court.
Last year, the decision of the Election Commission was given in the Prohibited Funding Case, in which PTI was found to have received funds from prohibited sources.
The FIA has filed an FIR, taking action in the light of the Election Commission's decision.
Imran Khan is on bail in this case from the banking court, but he has been instructed to ensure his attendance at the next hearing.
In this case, FIA has not yet submitted the challan while PTI approached the Islamabad High Court on the matter, after which the matter has been referred to the Election Commission once again.
The Election Commission has issued show cause notices to which Tehreek-e-Insaf will once again submit a detailed response.
If the Election Commission is not satisfied with the answer, it has the power to confiscate the funds obtained through prohibited sources.
A case of removal from party leadership
The request to remove Imran Khan from the party leadership is pending in the Election Commission. However, another application of this nature is also before the Lahore High Court.
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf has also approached the High Court to stop the Election Commission from taking action on this matter.
