190m Pound Case: Appeals Against Imran Khan, Bushra Bibi Sentences Fixed for November 18

ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court has fixed appeals against the sentences of PTI founder Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi in the £190 million case.

Chief Justice of the Islamabad High Court Sarfraz Dogar and Justice Muhammad Asif will hear the appeals on November 18. The court has asked lawyers to present arguments against the sentences.

A two-page written order from the previous hearing has been issued. In it, the court has directed that paperbooks for the £190 million appeals be prepared within seven days.

In its ruling, the court expressed the expectation that Salman Safdar and Latif Khosa will not discuss political matters after their meeting and will confine themselves to legal issues.

According to the court’s order, the Advocate General will arrange the meeting, which will last no less than one hour.

Latif Khosa said he could not present arguments because the meeting had not taken place. Salman Safdar said he had received instructions for arguments on the appeal, but the meeting was too short. On the lawyers’ request, one week has been granted to prepare arguments.
