A banking court in Islamabad on Wednesday rejected an appeal from the former prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan for exemption from personal appearance in the prohibited funding case. The court directed Imran to appear before the court before the day’s end.
This came after the court had previously issued a final warning to Imran Khan to appear before the court for legal proceedings, which failed in.
During Wednesday’s hearing, the special prosecutor argued that Imran Khan has never joined investigations until now and that his medical report did not justify the grant of exemption from personal appearance.
The court rejected Imran Khan’s application for exemption and summoned him to appear before the court before the day end later today.
