Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi were each handed a 14-year sentence in the case in January.
A Pakistani court has suspended former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s jail sentence in a case related to illegal selling of state gifts.
Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi were each handed a 14-year sentence in the case on January 31 – just a week ahead of February 8 elections, which Khan’s party alleges was rigged.
The Islamabad High Court on Monday said the couple’s sentence will remain suspended until a decision is taken on the case after the Eid holidays.
The sentencing had made the couple ineligible to contest for public office for 10 years while also slapping a fine of 787 million rupees ($2.8m) on each of them. It also came a day after Khan was given a 10-year prison term for revealing state secrets.
Khan has been in prison since August last year on several charges.
