 An Islamabad district and sessions court has rejected the plea of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan seeking the suspension of non-bailable arrest warrants issued for former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in the Toshakhana case.

The Toshakhana case involves allegations of illegal allotment of luxury cars to former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, former president Asif Ali Zardari, and others by the Pakistan government. The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) had filed a reference in the accountability court in 2019, accusing Nawaz Sharif and others of illegally taking possession of luxury vehicles gifted by foreign countries.

Imran Khan, who is also the former Prime Minister of Pakistan, had filed a plea in the Islamabad district and sessions court to suspend the non-bailable arrest warrants issued against Nawaz Sharif in the Toshakhana case. The PTI chairman had argued that the warrants were issued against Nawaz Sharif while he was out of the country for medical treatment, and that he should be granted exemption from appearing in court.

However, the court rejected Imran Khan's plea, stating that there were no grounds to suspend the arrest warrants. The court ordered Nawaz Sharif to appear before it on the next hearing scheduled for March 26.

The decision by the Islamabad court is significant, as it indicates the increasing pressure on Nawaz Sharif and his party, the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N). The PML-N has been vocal in its criticism of Imran Khan's government, accusing it of political victimization and harassment.

The Toshakhana case is one of several corruption cases against Nawaz Sharif and his family. Nawaz Sharif was convicted in two corruption cases in 2018 and sentenced to a total of 10 years in prison. However, he was released on bail in 2019 due to his health condition and subsequently left for London for medical treatment.

The court's decision is likely to increase political tensions in Pakistan, as Nawaz Sharif's supporters are expected to protest against the government's actions. The PTI government, on the other hand, will continue to face pressure to bring Nawaz Sharif to justice in the corruption cases against him.

In conclusion, the Islamabad district and sessions court's decision to reject Imran Khan's plea to suspend the arrest warrants for Nawaz Sharif in the Toshakhana case is significant, as it indicates the increasing pressure on Nawaz Sharif and his party. The case is one of several corruption cases against Nawaz Sharif and his family, and the government will continue to face pressure to bring him to justice.
