- On Dec 29, 2025, Imran Khan, PTI founder and former prime minister, and Bushra Bibi, spouse of Imran Khan, filed separate appeals in the Islamabad High Court challenging their Toshakhana-2 convictions, with petitions assigned diary numbers 24560 and 24561.
- Special Judge Central Shahrukh Arjumand’s Dec 20 ruling prompted the appeals, which challenge a nearly year-long trial that included over 80 hearings at Adiala Jail since September 2024.

- The petitions ask the Islamabad High Court to overturn the judgment, seeking reversal of fines and convictions that add to Imran Khan’s legal troubles while he remains jailed.
- Across roughly 80 hearings, prosecutors examined evidence including the Bulgari jewellery set with cross-examination of 20 key witnesses and a prosecution team led by Federal Prosecutor Zulfiqar Abbas Naqvi.
