Imran Khan's signature

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. 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][4]

Tyrian Jade

Khan has a daughter named Tyrian Jade with his former girlfriend Sita White, daughter of the English businessman Gordon White.[5] Tyrian was born in June 1992 at the Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. She was noted for her resemblance to Khan.[6] Sita White claimed that Khan initially refused to accept Tyrian as his child because she was a daughter and urged White to have an abortion.[7] After White took legal action against Khan in 1997, the Califorinian court ruled that Tyrian was his biological daughter.[8][9][10] Khan initially denied these allegations and willed for a paternity test.[11] After Sita White died in 2004, Khan agreed to accept Tyrian as his biological child and welcomed her into his family. [12] In 2015, Tyrian celebrated her birthday with her half-brothers Sulaiman and Qasim.[13]
