• Prosecutors say a Rampur MP/MLA court is likely to deliver judgments on October 8 in fraud and cheating cases involving Khan and his wife Tazeen Fatima, with other proceedings set the same day.
• Courts have accelerated several matters, including an October 1 order for Khan’s personal appearance in an enemy-property land case and hearings in speeches-related cases that lawyers say are near verdict.
• Khan faces 81 pending trials out of 111 FIRs filed over recent years, many linked to allegations around Jauhar University and associated trusts.
