IHC Justice Saman Rafat Imtiaz also annulled the indictment of Imran Khan and Fawad Chaudhry during the jail trial.

On July 11, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) issued bailable arrest warrants for Fawad Chaudhry in the ECP contempt case.

A four-member commission, headed by ECP Member Nisar Durrani, heard the contempt case registered against Imran Khan and Fawad Chaudhry.

In August 2022, the ECP issued notice to Imran Khan and Fawad Chaudhry for levelling allegations against the chief election commissioner (CEC) and ECP during public gatherings and TV interviews.

On January 3, both politicians were indicted in the ECP contempt case.

On the other hand, PTI founder Imran Khan has decided to contest the election for the chancellor of Oxford University from jail.

The former prime minister of Pakistan has been serving a prison sentence in Adiala Jail.

The post of chancellor of Oxford University became vacant following the resignation of 80-year-old Lord Patton, who held the position for 21 years.

For the first time, there will be an online election instead of the traditional process to elect a new chancellor, The Telegraph reported.

The online procedure will allow graduates of the university to participate in the election. The position of chancellor of the University of Oxford is usually held by politicians.

Zulfi Bukhari, adviser to Imran Khan, said that there is a public demand that Imran Khan should participate in the election, and that is why Imran Khan will contest the election.

It is to be noted here that former prime minister Imran Khan studied economics and politics at Keble College of Oxford University in 1972.

He made his debut for the Pakistan cricket team in 1971 and also captained the Oxford University team. He was also Chancellor of the University of Bradford from 2005 to 2014.
