Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has to be presented in court on Monday in a £190 million settlement case, an order issued by the accountability court stated on Friday.

The anti-graft watchdog NAB told the court that the probe into the money transferred to the national treasury required Khan's remand be extended.
The defense team raised objection to the extension, while submitting two letters before the court. The court was apprised that the letters (6 November, 2019), pertained to Mashreq Bank. adding that the letter emphasized that Imran was not involved in transfer of funds.
In contrast to NAB's stance, the prosecution stated that Khan played no role in the transfer of 240 kanals of land. His counsel underscored his contributions, mentioning the establishment of two cancer hospitals, with a third one currently under construction in Karachi, reported Express Tribune.
The anti-graft authority stated that the record presented by advocate Zafar required to be probed. On this, the court approved the PTI chief's only four-day physical remand.
The Al-Qadir Trust case is linked to settlement of 190 million pounds. The Britain's National Crime Agency had actually sent the amount to Pakistan as it confiscated it from a Pakistani property tycoon.
