Islamabad: A court in Islamabad has again fined on Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan for seeking adjournment in his Rs10 billion defamation case filed against PML-N senior leader and Defence Minister Khawaja Asif.
According to details, Additional Sessions Judge Adnan Khan heard the defamation plea against Defence Minister Khawaja Asif.
Imran Khan’s counsel moved an application in the court pleading that his client could not appear in court due to his engagement in another meeting.
The main lawyer was also not available as he was out of the country, he added.
Additional Sessions Judge Adnan Khan then deferred the cross-examination by Khawaja Asif’s lawyers on Imran Khan’s statement until October 22.
The judge accepted Imran Khan’s adjournment application with Rs5,000 fine.
The PTI chief had also been fined Rs5,000 during the last hearing of the case.
