Will the Islamabad High Court decide Imran Khan's £190 million Al-Qadir Trust appeal on or before 31 October 2026?

Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi were convicted in the Al-Qadir Trust case and sentenced to 14 years, and their appeal has been pending before the Islamabad High Court through a long series of adjournments in 2026, with the court repeatedly pressing the defence to begin arguments. As of mid-2026 the case was still moving through hearings rather than reaching a verdict, reflecting a pattern of delay that has characterised much of the litigation around Khan. Whether the IHC issues a decision within the next couple of months or grants further adjournments is not yet clear. Resolves: 31 October 2026 • Source: Islamabad High Court order or judgment, as reported by Dawn Rule: Resolves YES if the Islamabad High Court announces its decision on the appeals of Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi against their Al-Qadir Trust convictions on or before 31 October 2026, whether the convictions are upheld, set aside, or the sentences varied. Adjournments, procedural and maintainability orders, bail decisions, transfers of the case, and rulings by any other court including the Supreme Court do not count. If the appeal is withdrawn or becomes infructuous, the poll is voided and points are returned.
