Imran Khan's signature

The Tyrian White case was filed by Mohammad Sajid in the Islamabad High Court (IHC), seeking to disqualify Imran Khan, the leader of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), for allegedly hiding the existence of his daughter, Tyrian White, from his election documents.[1][2]

Sajid argued that although Imran provided for Tyrian's support in the UK, he did not reveal her existence in the nomination papers and affidavits he submitted for contesting the elections. After that by the means of DNA test report it was clear that Khan has no daughter. On March 30, 2023, the IHC reserved its decision on whether to accept the petition or not. During the hearing, a three-member bench, including IHC Chief Justice Aamer Farooq, Justices Mohsin Akhtar Kayani and Arbab Muhammad Tahir, questioned whether Tyrian was Imran's ward and whether Imran is still a public official. Imran's representatives claimed that the petition was not maintainable on legal grounds since he is no longer a lawmaker. The IHC had set March 21, 2023, as the original date for determining the petition's viability, but the hearing was postponed until March 30, 2023.[3] The Islamabad High Court on 21 May 2024 dismissed a petition filed against former prime minister Imran Khan for concealing his alleged daughter Tyrian White as inadmissible.[4]
