The case was filed against Khan in 2019 after it was revealed that he had kept a luxury watch gifted to him by a foreign dignitary in the Toshakhana, a government repository for gifts received by high-ranking officials. Khan had argued that he had paid the market value of the watch to the Toshakhana, but the court found that there was no evidence to support this claim.


The court's decision is a major victory for Khan, who has been facing a number of legal challenges since he was ousted from power in April 2022. The case had been seen as a test of Khan's political standing, and the court's dismissal of the charges is likely to boost his popularity among his supporters.
