PTI founder Imran Khan’s lawyer barrister Ali Zafar announced to approaching Islamabad High Court (IHC) against the Toshakhana reference case verdict. He also announced filing a separate application to suspend the decision of the accountability court. Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder and lawyer Barrister Ali Zafar during a media talk on Wednesday said PTI's legal wing informed him about approaching the IHC. “PTI founder and his wife Bushra Bibi were not allowed to present their witnesses and lawyers were not even allowed to cross-examine,” Ali added.

After getting a copy of the verdict, PTI moved IHC against the decision that sentenced Imran Khan to 14 years in prison and disqualified him from holding any public office for a decade. Ali Zafar said that he will also file a separate request to suspend the decision of the Accountability Court. Furthermore, he claimed that constitutional and legal points were neglected in the decision. “Which trial in the history of Pakistan has been completed in 28 days as trials have been pending here for five or six years, but the judgment of this particular case was pronounced hastily,” he claimed.
