Imran Khan, who was ousted from power in a parliamentary vote of no confidence in April 2022, has been embroiled in numerous legal battles since his departure from office. These include charges of corruption, revealing official secrets, and violating marriage laws, for which he has already been sentenced to multiple prison terms. However, under Pakistani law, these sentences are to be served concurrently, meaning the length of the longest sentence applies. Khan has been appealing all his convictions.

The indictment of Khan and his wife has further intensified the political and economic instability in Pakistan. The country has been facing a severe economic crisis, exacerbated by Khan's arrest and the subsequent civil unrest. This has led to a significant drop in the valuation of the rupee against the dollar and increased public dissatisfaction with living standards.The legal proceedings against Khan have been criticized by his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, which claims that the judicial process is biased and that Khan's legal team has had limited access to him. Despite these challenges, Khan continues to be a prominent political figure in Pakistan, with his legal battles and political maneuvers drawing considerable attention both domestically and internationally.
