Islamabad(The COW News Digital)The jail trial of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder and former Prime Minister Imran Khan in the Toshakhana-II case has been postponed once again. The hearing, which was scheduled to take place at Adiala Jail, did not proceed, and officials announced that a new date will be communicated at the judicial complex in the coming days.
The Toshakhana-II case, which has been the subject of intense media scrutiny, revolves around alleged irregularities in the handling of gifts and valuables received by public officials. Imran Khan, as the central figure in the case, was expected to face proceedings within the jail premises, where the prosecution and defense would present their arguments.

According to court sources, the trial scheduled for today was set to include responses from the defense following the prosecution’s arguments. However, judicial authorities decided to postpone the session, citing procedural or administrative reasons. This marks the second recent adjournment, as the previous hearing on October 29 was also canceled.
The repeated postponements have drawn attention from both political observers and legal analysts. Some suggest that delays may impact the pace at which the case progresses, while others note that high-profile trials in Pakistan often face logistical challenges due to security and procedural complexities.
PTI supporters have been following the Toshakhana-II proceedings closely, emphasizing that they expect transparency and fairness in the judicial process. Conversely, critics argue that the case is a significant test of accountability for public officeholders and their handling of state gifts and privileges.
The court has assured that the trial will resume once a new date is fixed, and all parties will be duly informed. Legal experts indicate that the next hearing will likely determine how the case proceeds with respect to evidence submission, witness testimony, and final arguments.
Meanwhile, the political climate surrounding the Toshakhana-II case continues to be charged. The case has repeatedly made headlines due to its connection to Pakistan’s former prime minister, highlighting broader debates over governance, corruption, and judicial oversight in the country.
Officials at the judicial complex confirmed that all procedural requirements are being adhered to, and that stakeholders, including lawyers from both sides, will be notified well in advance of the rescheduled trial.
