KARACHI - A Pakistani court on Tuesday suspended former Prime Minister Imran Khan's three-year sentence, ordering his release on bail.
A two-judge bench of the Islamabad High Court led by Justice Aamer Farooq, which reserved the judgement on Monday, announced the short orders, Anadolu Agency reported.
Khan was sentenced by a trial court in Islamabad earlier this month for concealing details of foreign gifts he received during his nearly four-year stint. Consequently, he was barred from holding public office for five years by the election commission.
The cricketer-turned-politician, who is facing a number of cases, was ousted through a no-trust vote in April 2022. He is currently incarcerated in the northwestern Attock city. - BERNAMA
