ISLAMABAD – A judge, who sentenced former prime minister Imran Khan to prison on charges of corrupt practices and misstatement in Toshakhana gifts sale case, has been made Officer on Special Duty (OSD).
According to a notification by Islamabad High Court (IHC), Additional District and Session (West) Judge Humayun Dilawar has been posted as OSD against a “newly created post” with immediate effect.
The judge had written a letter to Islamabad High Court’s chief Justice for his transfer, citing ‘security concerns’.
On August 5, Imran Khan – who was removed from office through a no-confidence motion in April last year — was arrested from his Zaman Park residence in Lahore soon after being convicted in the Toshakhana case. He has since been kept in Attock Jail.
