Imran Khan's Legal Team Objects to New Judge in Corruption Case

Former prime minister Imran Khan and his spouse's legal team have raised objections to the new judge assigned to preside over the £180 million corruption case. The previous judge, Nasir Javed Rana, completed his 3-year term and was replaced by Judge Muhammad Ali Warraich of Accountability Court-II on a temporary basis.

During a recent hearing at Adiala Jail, Imran's lawyers argued that Judge Warraich was not suitable to hear the case, leading to the court adjourning the hearing to June 11 for further arguments. No witness statements or cross-examinations occurred during this hearing, but both the prosecution and defense teams had an introductory session with the new judge, with Imran Khan and his wife present in court.

In a separate case concerning the Iddat Nikah issue, Imran Khan filed an appeal requesting an expedited hearing and suspension of the sentence. The court has issued notices to all involved parties and scheduled arguments for June 11, with the main appeal set for June 25.

The legal proceedings involving Imran Khan continue to unfold as his legal team challenges the appointment of a new judge in the corruption case. With upcoming hearings and appeals scheduled, the case remains under scrutiny. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.
