Security officers escort Pakistan's former Prime Minister Imran Khan, as he appeared in Islamabad High Court, Islamabad, Pakistan May 12, 2023.
The former cricket star has been embroiled in a tangle of political and legal battles since he was ousted as prime minister in a vote on no-confidence in 2022, which he denounced as unfair.
"The court has ordered that Imran Khan be produced on Nov. 28," Khan's lawyer, Naeem Panjutha, said in a post on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.
A spokesperson for the law ministry, which will decide if Khan is to appear, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The 71-year-old was jailed on Aug. 5 for three years for unlawfully selling state gifts during his tenure as prime minister from 2018 to 2022.
