Imran Khan’s Meeting Case Hearing in Supreme Court

Updated: 5:51 AM PKT — June 5, 2026

The Supreme Court on Thursday dismissed a review petition filed by Zahir Jaffer, upholding the death sentence awarded to him for the murder of Noor Mukadam. A three-member bench headed by Justice Hashim Khan Kakar announced the verdict after hearing arguments from both sides, bringing judicial proceedings in the high-profile case to a close.

Noor, the daughter of a former diplomat, was found murdered at Jaffer’s Islamabad residence in July 2021. Following the Supreme Court’s ruling, a presidential pardon under Article 45 of the Constitution is the only remaining avenue for Jaffer to appeal his sentence.
