This follows the complete testimony of two more witnesses and a partial testimony of a third. So far, testimonies from 15 witnesses have been recorded in the case, with the 16th witness’s testimony partially completed.
On Thursday, the hearing was adjourned due to a power outage. In addition to Imran Khan, Shah Mehmood Qureshi and Colonel (retd) Ajmal Sabir were presented in court during the proceedings. Others present included Fawad Chaudhry, Musarrat Jamshed Cheema, Shibli Faraz, members of the former chairman’s family, and lawyer Salman Akram Raja.

During the hearing, accused individuals, including Ali Nawaz Awan, along with lawyers Sardar Muhammad Shubhishek Khan and Amna Ali, appeared before the court. However, due to Imran Khan’s imprisonment, the trial could not proceed. The court adjourned the hearing until February 27.
A case against PTI leader Pervaiz Elahi and other party members has been registered at the CTD police station.
