On Saturday, a local court dismissed the plea of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan against the corruption case involving him.
In his petition, Khan urged the Islamabad district and sessions court to declare the Toshakhana case filed against him by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) as unreasonable.
However, during the hearing, Judge Humayun Dilawar said that the case against the cricketer-turned-politician was admissible before announcing that the case will be heard on 12 July.

However, during the hearing, Judge Humayun Dilawar said that the case against the cricketer-turned-politician was admissible before announcing that the case will be heard on 12 July.
The Toshakhana case was filed by the ECP last year following complaints from members of the ruling coalition, who accused Khan of concealing facts about the gifts he had received from foreign leaders during his stint as Pakistan's prime minister.
Also, Khan allegedly hid details of the proceeds he earned from the sale of the gifts.
The PTI chief has been embroiled in a long legal battle over the issue. In October 2022, the country's election body disqualified him over the matter.
In its statement, the ECP said that Khan had made "false statements and incorrect declarations" about the gifts, and hence he was barred from holding public office for five years.
