The Supreme Court has scheduled for hearing an appeal filed by PTI founder Imran Khan in the defamation case initiated by Shehbaz Sharif.

A three-member bench headed by Justice Hashim Khan Kakar will hear the case on March 31. The bench also includes Justice Ishtiaq Ibrahim and Justice Mian Gul Hassan Aurangzeb.

Imran Khan has raised objections to the process of recording evidence in the trial of the defamation case.

It is worth recalling that during the Panama case proceedings, Imran Khan had accused Shehbaz Sharif of offering him a bribe of Rs10 billion. Shehbaz Sharif denied the allegation and subsequently filed a defamation suit against him.
