Naeem Haider Panjutha, Khan's lawyer, said the Islamabad High Court will hear the appeal on Wednesday.
Panjutha told reporters outside the Islamabad High Court on Tuesday that they are also seeking better facilities for Khan through another petition, which has also been filed in the Islamabad High Court. Sharif, who replaced Khan last year after his ouster, said Tuesday that he would step down on Wednesday, after the five-year term of the current parliament.
Under the constitution, a caretaker government is installed when the term of the parliament ends. Sharif said he would hand over the charge to a caretaker government that would run day-to-day affairs. But its main talks would be to hold the next parliamentary elections.However, it remains unclear whether Khan will be able to contest elections. Under Pakistan's laws, no convicted person is eligible to lead his party or contest elections, or hold any public office.
