Regarding the money trail of Imran's Bani Gala property, the lawyer presented the PTI chief's cousin, Rashid Khan, as a witness. Rashid testified that he had received money from Imran's ex-wife, Jemima Goldsmith, which was used to buy the property in Bani Gala.

Clarifying his stance on the court's request, Bokhari stated that the money for the Bani Gala property was transferred by Jemima to Rashid Khan, and later paid back to Jemima by Imran.

The court also questioned whether the PTI chief had enough money to buy the flat in London. Bokhari submitted that Imran had played for Worcestershire and Sussex in England, while he was also associated with New South Wales and played the Kerry Packer World Cricket Series in Australia. Justice Umar Atta Bandial pointed out that the banking transactions only show two payments from Sussex — not a continuous flow of income.

Bokhari conceded that some payment records for county cricket played by Imran were unavailable, but said that most have now been found and submitted. Imran Khan's tax records will also prove that he was not involved in tax evasion, maintained Bokhari.

Pointing out that the petitioner had not questioned Imran's funds for buying the London flat, Bokhari said that the issues in court were regarding non-declaration of Niazi Services, tax evasion and unduly benefiting from tax amnesty schemes.

Justice Azmat Saeed had remarked in the Panamagate case that Article 62(1)(f) cannot be used as a political tool to disqualify someone, Bokhari reminded the court after Justice Bandial led the discussion on implementation of Article 62 of the Constitution.

Article 62(1)(f) of the Constitution deals with the eligibility of a member of parliament, requiring the members to be "sagacious, righteous, non-profligate, honest and ameen."

Abbasi's counsel Akram Shaikh, in his arguments, alleged that the documents submitted by Bokhari were forged, to which Bokhari responded that while he was not sure whether the banks which handled the transactions were still operative, he would ensure that he would provide a legitimate record.

The chief justice then asked Bokhari how he had acquired the documents if the banks in question had discontinued operations and what the procedure to authenticate them would be. Bokhari submitted that he had acquired the details through Khan's former accountant and assured the court that he would make all efforts to ensure certified documents were made available to the court.

The court adjourned the hearing of the case until July 31, ordering Bokhari to submit all necessary documents tomorrow (Wednesday). The SC will also hear the petition against Jehangir Tareen on Wednesday.
