Imran Khan challenged his conviction on graft charges in a high court on Tuesday, his lawyer said.
Naeem Panjutha said the petition to challenge the weekend conviction had been filed in the Islamabad High court.
Under a set procedure, the court has to admit the petition and then fix it for hearing to start formal proceedings into the grounds cited by Khan's lawyer to overturn the conviction. "Being aggrieved and dissatisfied", Khan has appealed to the high court to"set aside" the trial court's order that convicted and sentenced him, according to a copy of the petition posted by Panjutha on social media platform X, formerly Twitter.
