ISLAMABAD: Islamabad High Court (IHC) suspended the sentence of Chairman Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaaf (PTI) Imran Khan in Tosha Khana case on Tuesday. The IHC has reserved the judgment on Monday.

The IHC announced its reserved decision on a plea by PTI Chairperson Imran Khan seeking the suspension of the prison term he was awarded in the Toshakhana case.

A division bench of the IHC, comprising Chief Justice Aamer Farooq and Tariq Mehmood Jahangiri reserved its order after the counsel for the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), the defendant in this case, concluded his arguments.

The session court has convicted him for three years sentence and a fine of Rs 100,000 in Tosha Khana case.
