A Pakistani court on Monday dismissed murder charges against former Prime Minister Imran Khan, his lawyer said.

According to the lawyer, Naeem Panjutha, the charges related to the murder of a lawyer in the southern city of Quetta had been dismissed by a court.

Khan has been confronted with over 100 cases ever since his ouster in a parliamentary vote of confidence in April 2022, which includes a serious allegation of murder.

A high court in Islamabad is also due on Monday to give a ruling on an appeal filed by Khan seeking to suspend his conviction in a graft case.
