What are branch cases?

According to Pakistani law, any gift received from a foreign dignitary has to be kept in the State Depository i.e. Toshakhana. If the head of state wants to retain the gift, he has to pay an amount equal to its value. This is determined by the auction process. These gifts are either deposited in the Toshakhana or can be auctioned and the proceeds are deposited in the national treasury.

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party chief Imran Khan has been accused of buying gifts including an expensive graph wristwatch at a discount from the state depository, Toshakhana, and selling them for profit when he was prime minister. Imran Khan received 58 gifts worth around Rs 14 crore during his official visits. This expensive gift was deposited in Toshakhana. Later Imran Khan bought them from Toshakhana at a cheap price and later sold them in the market at a high price. He also changed the government law for this whole process.

According to media reports, Imran bought these gifts from Toshakhana for Rs 2.15 crore and sold them for a profit of Rs 5.8 crore. The gifts included a Graff watch, a pair of cufflinks, an expensive pen, a ring and four Rolex watches. He was disqualified by the Election Commission of Pakistan in October last year for not sharing sales details.

The Raute people live in temporary houses covered with cloth over wood. However, since they live completely cut off from the rest of the world, it becomes difficult to find their abode. The men of the Raute community are adept at hunting monkeys. Once they have followed a monkey, they do not return without hunting. The Raute people sit around a fire at night in winter. What is new is that they consider it a sin to grow seeds in the soil, so instead of farming, they use the grains found naturally in the forest as food. Every day women and children bring grain bearing plants and extract grains from them. They also eat fruits and vegetables that grow naturally. This nomadic species does no
