While the reasons behind the postponement were not explicitly stated, it is anticipated that the ECP will issue a revised cause list soon.

The postponement comes at a crucial juncture, especially as post-indictment proceedings were expected to commence against both Imran Khan and Fawad Chaudhry. Both the accused were charged while being held at Adiala Jail.
