ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistan’s Supreme Court has rejected a petition from former Prime Minister Imran Khan about halting his trial in a lingering case involving the concealing of assets after selling state gifts. Wednesday’s latest court ruling was another blow to Khan. He was disqualified by the Election Commission in October 2022 on charges he didn’t correctly disclose his assets after selling state gifts that he had received after coming to power in 2018. Khan also lost his seat in the National Assembly under last year’s ruling. He has been fighting a legal battle since then to avoid conviction in the case by the trial court.
