Supreme Court Restores Imran Khan’s Right to Defend Himself in Defamation Case
In a landmark legal victory for former Prime Minister Imran Khan, the Supreme Court of Pakistan has accepted a review petition filed on his behalf by Barrister Senator Syed Ali Zafar and restored his right to defend himself in a defamation suit filed by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
The case stems from statements made by Imran Khan during the hearing of the Panama Papers case before the Supreme Court, when he alleged that he had been offered money to withdraw the proceedings. Following these remarks, Shehbaz Sharif instituted a defamation suit seeking damages of Rs. 10 billion (Rs. 100 crore).
During the pendency of the case, Imran Khan suffered injuries in the assassination attempt at Wazirabad and was unable to file replies to certain interrogatories within the prescribed time. Consequently, the Civil Court closed his right of defence. Appeals against that order were dismissed by the Lahore High Court and later by a Supreme Court bench headed by Justice Mansoor Ali Shah and Justice Amin-ud-Din Khan, with Justice Ayesha dissenting, which held that Imran Khan was responsible for delaying the proceedings.
Imran Khan then filed a review petition through Barrister Senator Syed Ali Zafar, contending that a litigant’s right of defence could only be struck off where non-compliance with a court order was deliberate, wilful, and contumacious. He argued that Khan’s inability to file the replies was due to serious injuries from the assassination attempt and could not be regarded as deliberate default.
During the review proceedings, Barrister Zafar cited judicial precedents to argue that the right to defend oneself is a fundamental legal right, protected by due process and fair trial principles, and consistent with the injunctions of Islam. He submitted that the courts had failed to apply the correct legal test—whether the failure to comply on the particular date was wilful. Past delays, he argued, could not justify permanently closing a party’s right of defence.
After hearing the arguments, the Supreme Court, with Justice Ayesha heading the bench, accepted the review petition, set aside its earlier judgment and the orders of the Lahore High Court and Civil Court, restored Imran Khan’s right to defend himself, and remanded the matter to the trial court for continuation of proceedings in accordance with law.
The decision marks one of Imran Khan’s most significant courtroom victories in recent years.
When contacted after the judgment, Barrister Senator Syed Ali Zafar expressed gratitude to Almighty Allah for the outcome. He stated that justice had prevailed and thanked the judges for upholding the rule of law and the principles of fair trial and due process.

تحریک انصاف کی لیڈرشپ کو GB میں اپنے مینڈیٹ کو بچانے کی بھرپور کوشش کرنی چاہئیے۔
کے پی حکومت اور لیڈرشپ کو کردار ادا کرنا چاہئیے۔ جیتی ہو نئی نشستیں چپ چاپ بیٹھ کر کھو دینا عوام اور عمران خان کے ساتھ زیادتی ہوگی۔
عوام نے ووٹ دیا۔ اب لیڈرشپ کا کام ہے توانا آواز اٹھائے
So this army leadership wants you to believe
1 - PMLN was doing spectacular in Punjab but couldn’t retain GB
2 - PPP which was wrecking Karachi was preferred by GB
3 - PTI which is horrible at everything came second.
The thing with lies is that they eventually catch up with you.
Horrifying report that will of course be instantly attacked, dismissed, belittled and mocked by the same shameless apologists for the Israeli govt who went after @NickKristof following his own shocking and very similar recent report.

Three months ago today, a war began that no one voted for — and the cost has been paid by people who had no say in it.
Thousands of civilians have lost their lives. Thirteen U.S. servicemembers will never come home to their families.
Americans across this country and our city have watched prices rise at the pump and the grocery store, their budgets strained by a conflict launched without a single vote of Congress.
Every life lost abroad and every dollar squeezed from a working family here is part of the same reckless bill, handed to the people who could least afford it by those who will never pay it themselves.
I opposed this war from the first day. I oppose it still. It must end.
Today I, being the Chief Executive of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province, along with my cabinet and parliamentarians, going to Adiala Jail situated in the province of Punjab to show solidarity with former Prime Minister of Pakistan Mr. Imran Khan.
The federal government has stopped us in Islamabad 26 number chowk. It’s not only an insult of the chief executive but of the 46 Million people of KP.
The federal government has also stopped the Gas of KP. Punjab government has stopped the wheat movement towards KP. All of these acts are against the spirit of federation and the constitution of Pakistan.
Mr. Imran Khan has lost 85% of his eyesight due to the negligence of Adiala Jail’s administration and their handlers. He is not being allowed to meet his legal counsel, family and even personal physician. The federal government is not obeying the court orders and Punjab government is violating the fundamental rights of a political prisoner. Mr. Imran Khan is being treated inhumanely and has been placed in complete solitary confinement since November 2025.
We strongly demand the immediate access of Imran Khan sahb’s family and personal physician to him without any further delay. The state of his health is a matter of serious national concern and any harm caused to him due to negligence or deliberate denial of medical care is the direct responsibility of the federal government, the Punjab police, the administration of Adiala Jail and their handlers. We warn that the nation is watching and history will not forgive those who remain silent or complicit. Justice must prevail and it will prevail!
🇵🇰🇺🇸 The cable that toppled a government is finally public.
On March 7, 2022, Pakistan's ambassador in Washington sat down with U.S. assistant secretary of state Donald Lu. The message was short and clear, remove Imran Khan through a no-confidence vote and Washington will look the other way. "All will be forgiven," the ambassador later recalled. Thirty three days later, Khan was gone.
But this didn't start with that meeting. In June 2021, CIA Director William Burns personally flew to Islamabad to meet Khan. Waited a full day. Khan never showed. Said he'd only speak to his counterpart, meaning Biden, who had been dodging Khan's calls since day one. Burns left with nothing. Weeks later Khan went on record with Axios and just said it out loud, "Absolutely not. There is no way we are going to allow any bases, any sort of action from Pakistani territory into Afghanistan." No diplomatic cushioning, no ambiguity.
Washington had its answer. Pakistan's military had seen enough of their own prime minister.
In July 2021, behind Khan's back, the military quietly put a former CIA Islamabad station chief on retainer as a lobbyist in Washington. The generals were already cutting their own deal.
Then came the moment that sealed it. On February 24, 2022, the exact day Russian tanks rolled into Ukraine, Khan was in Moscow shaking hands with Putin on a long scheduled visit. Biden's national security advisor Sullivan had personally called Islamabad days before urging them to cancel. Khan didn't budge. Pakistan then abstained on the UN vote condemning the invasion. Washington was done.
Weeks later came the Lu meeting. The cable. And then Khan was out.
What followed was a gut punch. Artillery shells started flowing to Ukraine secretly through U.S. defense contractors. American support for Pakistan's IMF lifeline was explicitly tied to keeping that weapons pipeline running. Pakistan got its $3 billion bailout in July 2023. In February 2024 the military brazenly rigged the elections and the U.S. and EU sat on their hands and said nothing.
And Khan? Buried under a never ending conveyor belt of charges, corruption, contempt, national security, one case collapsing only for another to appear. He has been behind bars for nearly 3 years now. His wife still in prison. His party outlawed, stripped of its electoral symbol, barred from even fielding candidates under its own name.
The cypher was always real. They called it fake, jailed the man who leaked it, and hoped everyone would move on. They didn't.

🇵🇰 The man Khan fired is now running Pakistan's nukes.
Think about that for a second. Munir was sacked by Khan in 2019 after just eight months as ISI chief. Eight months. Khan threw him out after he went to Tehran with the Pakistani delegation and blew up the room, went completely off the script the government had agreed on internally, used language with Iranian officials that had no business being used, and actively wrecked what could have been a genuine step toward better Pakistan-Iran ties. Iran complained directly to Khan. Khan fired him.
That same man now controls 170 nuclear warheads with zero institutional checks left standing.
What happened between getting fired and getting the keys is the part that should make every Pakistani furious. After the sacking, Munir allegedly flew to London and sat down with Nawaz Sharif, who was conveniently living in self imposed exile at the time. Khan called it the London Plan. The deal as Khan described it was straightforward, Munir gets army chief, Khan's government gets taken apart, his party gets destroyed, the judiciary plays along. Sounds insane until you watch it happen exactly like that, step by step, over the next three years.
Munir became army chief in November 2022 in a process multiple reports said involved heavy consultations with the same Nawaz Sharif sitting in London. Within months Khan was arrested. Shariar waltzed back into Pakistan in October 2023 and had most of his convictions vacated almost overnight. By February 2024 his brother was prime minister, the elections were rigged openly and Washington and Brussels said nothing.
Then Munir really got to work. He promoted himself to Field Marshal, invented a brand new title of Chief of Defence Forces, and passed the 27th Constitutional Amendment scrapping the Nuclear Command Authority that had existed since 2000. That authority existed for one reason, to make sure no single person could ever make a nuclear decision alone. It required the prime minister, the joint chiefs, the service chiefs, all in the room. All of that is now gone. Munir replaced it with the National Strategic Command, headed by himself, answerable to nobody above him. The prime minister's only remaining role is to appoint people Munir recommends.
Pakistan has 170 nuclear warheads. Every single one of them now answers to one man.
Khan, the man who saw all of this coming and tried to stop it, has been rotting in a cell for nearly 3 years. And Munir gets called "my favorite Field Marshal" by Trump.
