In the contempt of court case, the Islamabad High Court (IHC) decided not to file formal charges against Imran Khan.
There aren’t many details, but it seems like Imran Khan was willing to apologize to Sessions, and Judge Zeba Chaudhry. As a result, the IHC put off bringing contempt of court charges against him.
The ex-prime minister stressed that he had no plans to physically harm the female judge. He said, “If the court says so, I am ready to personally go to the judge and apologize.” He also promised not to do anything similar again.
IHC Chief Justice Athar Minallah then remarked that contempt proceedings were not warranted. After hearing Imran Khan’s testimony, the court ordered him to file an affidavit.
