IHC delays Imran Khan, Bushra Bibi appeals for 10 days

ISLAMABAD, Nov 10: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Tuesday adjourned for 10 days the hearing of appeals filed by PTI founder and former prime minister Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, against their convictions in the £190 million reference.

The couple is serving prison sentences in the £190m corruption case, also known as the Al-Qadir Trust case. An accountability court had sentenced Imran to 14 years in prison and Bushra to seven years.

The IHC also directed the authorities to facilitate meetings between Imran and his legal team. At the outset of the proceedings on Tuesday, Chief Justice Sardar Muhammad SarfrazDogar, heading a division bench, observed that he had allowed the lawyers to meet Imran and Bushra.

He recalled that on June 29, the court had specifically directed the counsel to proceed with arguments and obtained an undertaking that no adjournment would be sought. �"DAWN
