We were ready for such decision in Tosha Khana Case, Barrister Ali Zafar

Rawalpindi: Senator Ali Zafar of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and member of the legal team, Barrister Ali Zafar, said; “We were ready for such a decision in the Tosha Khana case, now we will appeal against it”.

Speaking to the media after the accountability court's verdict, PTI leader Barrister Ali Zafar stated that during the trial, the lawyers of PTI founder Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi were not allowed to cross-examine them in any way. They were also not allowed to present their witnesses.

The sentence cannot be pronounced without recording the statement, but this was not considered in this case, the same had happened in the cypher case yesterday, he added.

Barrister further said that they knew the judgment would come like this and they were ready for it. Now they will file an application to get a copy of the judgment after which an appeal seeking to suspend the judgment will be filed.

Ali Zafar told that Article 10A, the constitution and law have been violated. This is a mistrial, therefore there is no doubt that this sentence will be suspended.

It is pertinent to note that PTI founder Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Biba have been sentenced to 14 in prison in the Tosha Khana reference, while the court also disqualified PTI founder for 10 years. A fine of Rs1.5730 billion has also been imposed on them.
