IHC adjourns Imran Khan’s appeal in 190m pounds case indefinitely

ISLAMABAD  –  The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Monday adjourned the hearing of appeals against the conviction of Pakistan Teh­reek-e-Insaaf (PTI) founder and his wife Bushra Bibi in the 190 million pound case indef­initely. A two-member bench headed by Chief Justice Sardar Sarfraz Dogar heard the ap­peals. Barrister Salman Saf­dar appeared before the court. Salman Safdar raised the is­sue of road closures before the court, saying, “I managed to reach the court, but Latif Kho­sa could not reach today.” He said they approach the next forum if they do not get relief from this court. Salman Safdar said NAB had sought adjourn­ments in 16 hearings, and that a request for suspension of sentence on behalf of Bushra Bibi was filed in the Federal Constitutional Court on April 30, with an early hearing re­quest filed on September 17. He said he had filed a petition in the Federal Constitution­al Court against the court or­der, and that his case would be fixed in the Federal Consti­tutional Court next week. “If hearings on the appeals begin here, that petition will become ineffective,” he argued.
