A two-member bench has been formed which will hear Khan’s case today (12 May), in connection with the Al-Qadir Trust.
Over a dozen people were killed following his arrest on Tuesday (9 May), after the event triggered clashes with police and paramilitary forces, and over 1,000 people had been arrested.
The Supreme Court later ruled the arrest ‘unlawful’ and demanded his release.
Internet and data service restrictions are still in place with the likes of Twitter, YouTube, Facebook and Instagram all banned.
He is the country’s seventh prime minister to be arrested, after he was removed from power last year through a no-confidence vote.
