Despite Imran Khan’s appeal against the case’s maintainability, the court rejected it, and the judgment was delivered even in his absence. The Toshakhana case has been a matter of intense legal scrutiny, and with this ruling, it has now taken a significant turn.

The implications of the sentencing and disqualification are likely to reverberate through Pakistan’s political landscape, raising questions about the future of PTI and the political career of Imran Khan.
