\"\"The Supreme Court office on Saturday returned the founder PTI\u2019s appeal against conviction in Toshakhana case with objections.<\/p>\n

According to the SC office objections, papers annexed with the appeal were incomplete. \u201cThe appeal can be submitted in the court with relevant documents by January 06.\u201d The PTI founder filed appeal in the apex court seeking suspension of the sentence in Toshakhana case.<\/p>\n

The petitioner pleaded to the court to declare the Islamabad High Court\u2019s decision as void. \u201cThe sentence in Toshakhana case has already suspended. The high court only suspended the conviction but not announced complete decision,\u201d petitioner argued. \u201cThe election commission taking advantage of the mistake issued notification of disqualification of the former PTI chairman,\u201d according to petition. \u201cThe elections are coming closer, former PTI chairman is also former prime minister of the country,\u201d the petition read.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe leader of the largest party of the could not be kept out of the elections,\u201d petitioner said. \u201cThe supreme court should suspend Toshakhana sentence so as he could participate in the election,\u201d according to the plea. The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Thursday dismissed a petition by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder, seeking suspension of the trial court\u2019s verdict in the Toshakhana case.<\/p>\n

On August 5, a trial court sentenced former prime minister to three years in prison after he was found guilty of graft in the Toshakhana case. Following his conviction, the ECP disqualified the former prime minister for five years under Section 167 of the Elections Act, 2017.<\/p>\n

However, the Islamabad High Court (IHC) on August 28 suspended the Imran Khan\u2019s sentence awarded to him in the Toshakhana case but his conviction and disqualification remain intact.<\/p>\n

IHC Chief Justice Amir Farooq and Justice Tariq Mahmoud Jahangiri announced the reserved verdict, rejecting the petition to suspend the Toshakhana case decision. The ruling emphasised the legal limitations regarding the revision or amendment of a suspended punishment order.<\/p>\n
