Maneka also accused his ex-wife and Khan, the founder of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) party, of being in an adulterous relationship before marriage, a crime punishable by death by stoning.
The trial court concluded the hearing on Friday night after a marathon 14-hour-long hearing at the Adiala jail.
