Court sets sentencing date for King Khan

The Suva High Court has set a sentencing date for Imran Khan, who pleaded guilty to breaching a restraining order. Khan, also known by the moniker King Khan, admitted to the charge after the state presented the summary of facts, which he confirmed he understood and agreed with.

The court heard allegations that Khan disposed of a vehicle that was subject to a restraining order. The order also encompassed a property valued at $400,000, a bank account, and four vehicles. Furthermore, it is alleged that Khan transferred the registration KNGKHN to his brother, Ifran Khan, in violation of orders issued in 2023.

Defense lawyer Jerry Dinati requested time to prepare mitigation submissions, stating they did not wish to waste the court's time. High Court judge Justice Thusara Rajasinghe instructed both parties to thoroughly prepare their submissions, emphasizing the need for provided case law as this was his first encounter with such a charge. He also noted that the sentence must be proportionate.

Both the prosecution and the defense have until June 25 to file their respective submissions. The case will be recalled on July 14 for sentencing.
