PTI founder, Bushra Bibi’s remand extended for 11 days

Accountability Court Judge Nasir Javed Rana extended the remand and adjourned the proceedings until August 12.

Former Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi were earlier sent on 10-day physical remand in NAB Toshakhana reference.

On July 13, Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi were arrested in a fresh National Accountability Bureau (NAB) reference related to Toshakhana, hours after their acquittal in the Iddat case.

The NAB team headed by Deputy Director Mohsin Haroon arrested Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi from the Adiala Jail, the sources privy to the development added.

The development came after the Islamabad district and sessions court accepted the appeals filed by former prime minister Imran Khan and his spouse Bushra Bibi against their conviction in the Iddat case.

The couple was sentenced to seven years in prison and awarded a fine of Rs500,000 each, in February earlier this year after a trial court found their nikah to be fraudulent.

The verdict clears the last existing legal hurdle keeping the deposed prime minister in jail. His sentences in the two Toshakhana cases were suspended while he was acquitted by the Islamabad High Court (IHC) in the cipher case.

Toshakhana case: NAB issued notice on Imran’s bail plea

An accountability court on Tuesday issued a notice to the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on the post-arrest bail petition of former prime minister Imran Khan and his spouse, Bushra Bibi.

The accountability watchdog has filed a reference against the couple, accusing them of retaining an expensive Bvlgari jewellery set from Toshakhana at a throwaway price.

Mr Khan and his spouse are seeking bail in the reference filed by NAB last week.

The couple also pleaded with the court to grant them interim bail till their post-arrest bail petition is decided.

The accountability court judge, Nasir Javed Rana, summoned the case record from NAB and adjourned the hearing till Aug 30.

The bureau alleged that the Saudi royal family gifted a Bvlgari jewellery set to Ms Bibi during her visit to the kingdom in May 2021.

It said that the jewellery set comprises a ring, bracelet, necklace and earrings.

The initial investigation found that the former first couple illegally retained this jewellery set, according to NAB.

On May 18, 2021, the then deputy military secretary to the PM, Col Rehan Mohammad, asked the Toshakhana section officer to evaluate the set’s price.

The section officer was also told that Mr Khan intends to retain the gift and declare it in his record.

According to the reference, a franchise of Bvlgari sold the said jewellery set to the Saudi government on May 25, 2018, for 300,000 euros and earrings for 80,000 euros.

NAB claimed that in May 2021, the total value of the jewellery set was over Rs75 million, and 50pc of that amount — over Rs35.7m — was not deposited in the treasury.

NAB alleged Mr Khan retained 58 of 108 gifts he received from heads of state and other dignitaries.

NAB withdraws Toshakhana case against Imran Khan, Bushra Bibi

The National Accountability Bureau withdrew on Monday the Toshakhana case against the founder of former prime minister Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi.

Following NAB’s request, the accountability court transferred the Toshakhana reference to a special judge in Central Islamabad. A prosecutor stated that, after the restoration of amendments to NAB laws, the Toshakhana case no longer falls under its jurisdiction.

The attorney representing the PTI founder stated that, in light of such amendments, the case should not even exist.

But the former prime minister would not be released as he still faces dozens of cases related to the May 9 events when violent protests started after his arrest from the Islamabad High Court premises in a graft case.

This comes after Khan sought acquittal in the NAB cases against him after the Supreme Court’s decision. Last week, the apex court rejected Khan’s plea to declare the NAB amendments null and void while approving intra-court appeals from federal and provincial governments, thereby reinstating the NAB amendments.

The detailed ruling stated that Khan could not satisfactorily convince the court regarding the invalidation of the NAB amendments.

Khan, 71, has been imprisoned at the Adiala Jail for over a year following his conviction in four cases, including two Toshakhana references. His sentences in the Toshakhana references were suspended, and he was also acquitted by the Islamabad High Court in the cipher case earlier this year.

In June, the national-graft buster re-arrested them in a new Toshakhana case reference hours after a court acquitted both in the unlawful marriage case, dashing their hopes of being released from prison.

Earlier this year, a UN panel of experts found Khan’s detention “had no legal basis and appears to have been intended to disqualify him from running for political office”.

“Thus, from the outset, that prosecution was not grounded in law and was reportedly instrumentalised for a political purpose,” it said, calling for his immediate release after nearly a year in jail.

Imran’s acquittal plea in £190m case rejected

An accountability court on Thursday rejected the petitions of former premier Imran Khan and his spouse, Bushra Bibi, seeking acquittal in the £190 million corruption case under the amended National Accountability Ordinance of 1999.

Mr Khan, while relying upon the amended NAO, claimed that the case against him was initiated on the basis of a meeting of the federal cabinet and the law has protected the decision taken by the cabinet.

“Despite being fully aware that the case does not fall within the ambit of the NAO, NAB exceeded its jurisdiction and filed a false and frivolous reference, alleging that the applicant, as prime minister of Pakistan, chaired the cabinet meeting held on Dec 3, 2019, during which a deed of confidentiality was approved,” said the petition filed by the PTI founding chairman.

It said the NAB had accused Mr Khan of misusing his authority for according the said approval and, in return, obtained approximately 458 kanals of land in tehsil Sohawa of Jhelum district, Rs285m in cash, and other benefits under the guise of donations for Al-Qadir University Project Trust.

“Additionally, it is alleged that the applicant and his spouse, through their associate Farhat Shehzadi, received 240 kanals of land from co-accused Ahmad Ali Riaz Malik as compensation for personal gain.

“Thus, the accused/applicant, as a public officeholder, is accused of misusing his authority for personal gain for himself and his wife in the form of donations and other benefits,” the petition said.

The NAB prosecution contended that the case is that the ex-PM had misled the cabinet to obtain the approval. The prosecutor said Mr Khan had concealed the facts from the cabinet members and forced them to approve the confidential deed in a sealed envelope.

Subsequently, accountability judge Nasir Javed Rana dismissed the petition.

Bushra Bibi moves LHC about ‘undisclosed’ cases

Bushra Bibi, the incarcerated wife of jailed PTI founding chairman Imran Khan, has approached the Lahore High Court seeking details of all undisclosed cases registered against her.

In a petition, Bushra Bibi challenged the authorities’ failure to provide information regarding the undisclosed cases and pointed out that she was being targeted for political reasons.

The petitioner through a counsel argues that she has been unlawfully imprisoned despite not being required in any criminal case following her acquittal, confirmation of bail and suspension of the sentences in all previous cases registered against her.

The petition pleads that the petitioner has become a victim of the state’s visible mischief, with the sole purpose to pressurise her husband.

Therefore, if the petitioner has been arrested in any other case without bringing it to her knowledge, it would amount to miscarriage of justice.

The petition asks the court to order the respondents to submit a fresh list of disclosed and undisclosed cases against the petitioner and also issue an order preventing her arrest in any such cases.

The Punjab police, the FIA, and the interior ministry have been listed as respondents in the petition. Justice Farooq Haider will hear the petition on Monday (tomorrow).

Imran Khan, Bushra Bibi's bail in Toshakhana 2 case rejected​

A special court in Rawalpindi rejected the bail applications of PTI Founder Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi. The court, presided over by Special Judge Central Shahrukh Arjumand, heard the case inside Adiala Jail on Monday.

FIA Prosecutor Zulfiqar Abbas Naqvi and his team appeared in court, while Barrister Salman Safdar represented the PTI founder and Bushra Bibi. After hearing detailed arguments from both the prosecution and defense, the court reserved its decision. Following deliberations, the court denied bail to both suspects.

The prosecution has alleged that Imran Khan received a valuable jewellery set from Saudi Arabia worth Rs70 million during his stint as the prime minister and retained it for a much lower price of Rs2.9 million. According to the prosecution, the set -- comprising a necklace, earrings, bracelets, and rings -- was not deposited in the Toshakhana repository, but was instead retained by Khan. The prosecution also argued that the actual price of the gift was verified through the Foreign Office.

The prosecution further alleged that Imran Khan, while serving as prime minister, undervalued the jewellery set at Rs5.8 million and arranged for it to be kept without proper registration. The court was informed that Imran Khan got the price of the jewellery set fixed through his office secretary, Inam Shah, who along with Toshakhana officials confirmed this action.

Barrister Salman Safdar, representing the defense, argued that the case is similar to a previous reference filed in connection with the Toshakhana gifts. He asserted that the allegations, witnesses, and evidence were largely the same, and contended that the case should be dismissed following the Supreme Court's decision to restore NAB amendments.

Despite these arguments, the court dismissed the bail applications and set the date for framing charges against Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi for October 2.

On September 26, the court set October 2 as the date for the indictment. The proceedings took place at Adiala Jail, Rawalpindi, where Special Judge Central Shahrukh Arjamand presided over the hearing.

On Thursday, the defense lawyer, Salman Safdar, completed his arguments regarding the bail applications of the PTI founder and Bushra Bibi.

However, the prosecution was unable to present its arguments and requested additional time. The defense opposed the request, urging the court to make a decision on the bail applications without delay.

Both the PTI founder and Bushra Bibi addressed the court, expressing their desire for swift justice, stating that the prolonged proceedings were unfair.

Despite the defense’s appeal for a same-day decision, the court adjourned the hearing to September 28, granting the prosecution more time to present their case.

Khalid Yousaf Chaudhry — the counsel for Bushra Bibi, wife of former prime minister Imran Khan — informed the court that his client was arrested on July 13. He requested the court to fix the case for regular hearing on Monday.

Justice Aurangzeb while adjourning the case directed the registrar office to fix a date for hearing during the next week.

On Sept 30, Special Judge Central Shahrukh Arjumand had rejected the couple’s petitions in the same case.

According to the prosecution, the jewellery set worth Rs71.5 million was retained by the former premier and his spouse for Rs2.9m only.

Islamabad High Court grants bail to Bushra Bibi in Toshakhana 2.0​

The Islamabad High Court (IHC) has granted bail to Bushra Bibi, wife of incarcerated former prime minister Imran Khan, in the ongoing Toshakhana case.

The bail was approved by Justice Mian Gul Hassan Aurangzeb during a hearing on Wednesdsy, with Bushra Bibi required to submit a bond of Rs1 million.

This decision provides temporary relief to Bushra Bibi, who faces allegations related to the improper handling of state gifts.

During the hearing, Justice Aurangzeb questioned the Federal Investigation Agency’s (FIA) investigative officer about the necessity of further interrogation of Bushra Bibi.

The officer confirmed that no additional investigation was required, after which the judge granted bail.

The court further referenced similar practices in other countries, noting that the British Prime Minister had also taken gifts home, citing regulations.

The judge highlighted how other nations, like Azerbaijan, display gifts in museums, with the only photograph of a Pakistani leader being that of Benazir Bhutto.

The Toshakhana case involves allegations of corruption against Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi, specifically regarding the sale of gifts received from foreign dignitaries.

Imran’s wife Bushra Bibi freed after nearly 9 months following bail in new Toshakhana case

Bushra Bibi, the wife of incarcerated ex-premier Imran Khan, was released from Adiala Jail on Thursday a day after being granted bail in a recent Toshakhana case, ending nearly nine months of her detention.

The former first lady was taken into custody on January 31 after an Islamabad accountability court sentenced her and Imran to 14 years in jail in the Toshakhana reference.

The conviction was the second in a series of three back-to-back ones against Imran, just days before the February 8 general elections.

Bushra had been kept at Adiala Jail, where the PTI founder also remains incarcerated since his arrest on August 5 last year in a separate Toshakhana case.

Imran and Bushra were apprehended in the case on July 13, following their acquittal in the Iddat case the same day. The next day, the already imprisoned politician was “arrested” in connection with a dozen May 9 cases.

In the most recent case, the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has accused the couple of retaining an expensive Bvlgari jewellery set gifted by a foreign leader — including a necklace, earrings, bracelets, and rings — at a low price, saying it caused significant loss to the exchequer.

A day ago, the IHC had approved Bushra’s bail in the same case, following which a special court issued her release orders today.

Earlier today, Special Judge (central) Shahrukh Arjumand issued Bushra’s release orders, a copy of which is available with Dawn.com, after her counsels Malik Tariq Mehmood Noon and Sohail Satti submitted surety bonds worth Rs1 million.

“The bail of the accused in the above-mentioned case has been approved by the high court,” the release order said, adding that “if the accused is not wanted in any other case, then they should be released on confirmation”.

PTI ‘welcomes’ Bushra back

The PTI hailed her release: “Welcome back Bushra Bibi!”

“You have faced extremely difficult times, disgusting campaign and character assassination attempts against your during your illegal time in jail. The Pakistani nation salutes your bravery!” the party said on X.

Speaking outside Adiala Jail, PTI Chairman Gohar Khan highlighted that the former first lady had “endured jail for nine months in extreme conditions with a lot of courage”.

He said that despite all the hardships, Bushra had stood by Imran’s vision, adding that he was hopeful of Imran’s release soon.

On rumours of a deal being settled between Imran and the powers that be, Gohar said that if it was possible to get Bushra out of jail via a deal, she would not have stayed imprisoned until now.

“Khan sahib would not have been in jail for 16 months [either],” Gohar said.

Responding to a question about how Bushra was finally released today instead of being re-arrested, as in previous cases, Gohar quipped: “In what else case could they have arrested her in.”

“Red salute to Bushra Bibi, the woman who endured 265 worst days in jail,” PTI leader Salman Akram Raja said on X.

Barrister Salman Safdar said it was a “great day” for Bushra’s family, noting that his legal team “worked tirelessly”. He expressed the hope that the release of Imran and his sisters was also “around the corner”.

IHC orders Imran’s production in court by 3pm

Separately, the IHC on Thursday ordered that Imran be produced before the court, and be allowed to have a virtual meeting with his lawyers there.

Today, Justice Sardar Ejaz Ishaq Khan took up a Advocate Faisal Chaudhry’s contempt petition against Adiala jail authorities for not allowing meetings with Imran despite previous court orders.

Earlier this month, the Punjab government, citing security concerns, banned meetings with prisoners at Adiala jail till October 18, which was then extended for an indefinite period.

Adiala Jail Superintendent Ghafoor Anjum appeared before the court today on its orders, along with the additional attorney general and state counsel.

Ordering Anjum to present Imran in the court by 3pm and have him hold a virtual meeting with his lawyers, Justice Khan also told him to explain the reasons if the order was not acted upon.

IHC hearing

At the outset of the hearing, Justice Khan, referring to the ban on prisoner meetings, asked: “Are you saying that the government can stop the process of providing justice with a single notification?”

The state counsel replied that since court hearings had not been taking place, Imran’s meetings had not been arranged either.

Justice Khan then noted that the petitioner had argued that a court order had been violated via a notification.

“I am not saying whether the notification is correct or not; they will have to file a separate petition for that [matter],” he clarified. “However, denying a meeting despite court orders is violation of court orders.”

To this, the state counsel informed the court about the ban on prisoner meetings by the Punjab government based on a law and order situation.

“Have meetings with lawyers also been banned?” the judge asked. He said “those who issued the notification also committed contempt of court”, adding that if the Punjab government barred lawyers’ meetings then it was contempt of court.

Justice Ishaq said the interior ministry should submit a report detailing what the security reasons were.

Here, the petitioner’s counsel informed the court that no lawyer has been allowed meetings at Adiala Jail since October 3.

The court questioned what the results would be if this was not genuine. “I will ask on camera those who wrote the letters.”

“I will put my hand on the Quran and ask whether they will give an affidavit and this was really the position,” the court said.

“If we all go to jail are we all some security threat?” Advocate Shoaib Shaheen asked.

Justice Khan ordered the jail authorities to produce Imran in the court by 3pm, and arrange his meeting with his lawyers via video-link at the court.

Along with summoning the interior ministry’s joint secretary along with relevant records, the judge issued notices seeking judicial assistance from Attorney-General for Pakistan Mansoor Usman Awan.

“I am aware that you will not implement my court orders,” Justice Khan remarked, adding that the court would be accorded respect if Imran was presented in court.

Addressing the jail authorities, the judge ordered: “You should make [necessary] security arrangements and present the PTI founder in court.

“If you cannot do so, you must inform the court tomorrow about the reasons,” Justice Khan stressed.

“You must satisfy the court about the security threat due to which you might not present him,” he told the jail superintendent.

Second Toshakhana case history

In September, Special Judge Central Shahrukh Arjumand had set the couple’s indictment in the case for October 2. However, it was deferred to October 5 on the defence counsel’s request for more time. A day prior to that, Judge Arjumand had rejected their post-arrest bail petitions.

On Oct 24, a day after the IHC approved her bail plea in the case, Bushra was released from Adiala Jail.

In its reference filed with the court, the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has accused Imran and his wife of illegally retaining the jewellery set gifted to Bushra by the Saudi royal family during their visit to the kingdom in May 2021.

In its reference, the anti-graft watchdog further alleged that during his term as prime minister, Imran and his wife had received a total of 108 gifts from different heads of state and foreign dignitaries.

Of those gifts, they allegedly retained 58 gifts against an undervalued amount of over Rs142m. “Out of these 108 gifts, the accused persons retained 58 gift boxes/sets against an undervalued amount of Rs142.1 million as assessed by appraisers,” the reference said.

After the Supreme Court upheld amendments to NAB laws in September, the case was transferred to an FIA special court from an accountability court.

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar stated that if Bushra Bibi's release had been the result of a deal, she wouldn't have remained in jail

Speaking to the media outside Adiala Jail, Barrister Gohar mentioned that Bushra Bibi's release after nine months was possible because she endured tough conditions in prison while standing firm with Khan's ideology.

He said, "We salute her courage and congratulate all PTI voters and supporters. Khan sahib will also be released soon."

Barrister Gohar stated that keeping his wife in jail was intended to put pressure on Khan. He assured that the founder's release would happen and it would be on merit, adding that claims of a deal are unfounded. "If that were the case, she wouldn't be in jail," he remarked.

He said, "What is it that you haven't arrested for? Tosha Khana 1, Iddat,Tosha Khana 2"

He further said "Arrests have happened, and all have seen releases based on merit."

The chairman of PTI emphasized that Bushra Bibi has no connection to the Toshakhana case or any other case. "No matter what you do, the public stands with Khan. He has confidence in us, and we are following his orders. He will soon be among the people; everyone is united under the founder's leadership."

He further stated, "I deny any claims of Imran Khan expressing anger during meetings with party leaders. There is no truth to that; it is misinformation. We did not accept the 26th amendment before, and we do not accept it now."

Earlier Bushra Bibi has been released from Adial jail after being granted bail in the Toshakhana 2.0 case.

Additional security forces have been deployed at Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi, with Bushra Bibi's release. The jail administration plans to complete legal formalities after receiving the release order.

Meanwhile, the indictment proceedings against both Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi, scheduled for the same day, were postponed due to security concerns.

Initially set to take place at Adiala Jail, the hearing was moved to Islamabad's Judicial Complex.

However, security concerns continued preventing the proceedings, and the court rescheduled the indictment for October 26.

Expressing his thoughts to the foreign media outlet, Sanaullah said: “It is normal for the political leaders to face cases. But I am against involving women in the cases.”

The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) stalwart lavished his praise on JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman, saying, “Maulana Fazlur Rehman has played a substantial role in line with the 26th constitutional amendment. The PTI had agreed on the draft of the constitutional amendment proposed by the JUI-F.

“The PTI has remained against the approval of the 26th constitutional amendment,” he stated.

Speaking about Justice Mansoor Ali Shah, Sanaullah said: “The way of Justice Mansoor Ali Shah has stopped, but the PTI has interfered more in this regard.”

He maintained: “Justice Mansoor Ali Shah is a competent judge. But the PTI had resorted to propaganda against him.”

“Justice Mansoor Ali Shah will not spearhead the constitutional bench,” Sanaullah added.

‘Not in favour of cases against Bushra Bibi, PTI founder’s sisters,’ says Sanaullah

He lavished his praise on JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman, saying, “Maulana Fazlur Rehman has played a substantial role in line with the 26th constitutional amendment. The PTI had agreed on the draft of the constitutional amendment proposed by the JUI-F.

Bushra Bibi poisoned while in jail: Omar Ayub

The central leader of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly, Omar Ayub Khan, has alleged that Bushra Bibi was poisoned during her time in jail, ARY News reported on Sunday.

Ayub asserted that the former first lady, Bushra Bibi, survived nine months in custody with resilience, adding that her recent release, along with the Aleema Khan and Uzma Khan, was not the result of any political deal with the government.

He further claimed that substandard food, along with interruptions to water and electricity, are part of the poor treatment given to PTI’s founder, who remains imprisoned in Adiala Jail on what Ayub described as fabricated charges.

IHC bars trial court from delivering final order in £190 million corruption case

The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Monday extended its restraining order, barring the trial court from delivering a final order in the £190 million corruption case involving Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi.

A division bench comprising Chief Justice Aamer Farooq and Justice Mian Gul Hasan Aurangzeb took up the acquittal pleas filed by the former PM and his wife.

The prosecutor further informed the court that the trial was approaching its conclusion, with the investigating officer undergoing cross-examination since October 20. Imran Khan's counsel pointed out that this witness was the last in the case and that a conclusion to the trial could adversely impact their defense.

Separately, Bushra Bibi's lawyer, Usman Gul, explained that his client had been unable to attend the previous day’s hearing due to health reasons. The court advised against any unnecessary delays, stressing the importance of timely proceedings.

After hearing arguments, the court adjourned the case for 10 days, extending its order that restrains the trial court from issuing a final judgment until further notice.

Court warns of Bushra Bibi's bail cancellation as lawyers absent​

An accountability court expressed strong displeasure over the absence of Bushra Bibi and her lawyers, stating that if this situation continues, the accused’s bail could be revoked and arrest warrants could be reissued.

An accountability court hearing on the 190 million pound reference was held at Adiala Jail, presided over by Judge Nasir Javed Rana.

Former Prime Minister Imran Khan was present in the courtroom, while his wife, Bushra Bibi, was represented by assistant lawyer Khalid Yousuf Chaudhry.

During the proceedings, Khalid Yousuf Chaudhry filed a request for Bushra Bibi to be exempted from attendance on medical grounds. However, the prosecution opposed this request, stating that neither Bushra Bibi nor her lawyers were present in court.

The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) prosecutor pointed out that today’s hearing had been scheduled in the presence of the lawyers, who should have informed the court if they were occupied elsewhere.

The prosecutor further noted that the exemption request lacked signatures from Bushra Bibi and her legal team, indicating that proper procedures had not been followed.

"We do not insist that Bushra Bibi must attend every hearing, but if she does not wish to appear, she should appoint a representative," the prosecutor stated.

He also highlighted the absence of medical reports, asserting that Bushra Bibi was misusing her bail and recommended that a show-cause notice be issued against her.

In response, the court expressed strong discontent over the absence of Bushra Bibi and her legal representatives, warning that if this behaviour continued, her bail could be revoked, and arrest warrants might be reissued.

Due to the lack of legal representation, the cross-examination of the case's investigating officer could not proceed, leading the court to postpone the hearing until the following day.

Bushra Bibi gets exemption from appearance in Toshakhana case

An accountability court in Rawalpindi approved a request for exemption from appearance for former first lady Bushra Bibi in the Toshakhana case, with instructions for her to ensure attendance in the next hearing.

Special Judge Central Shahrukh Arjumand heard the case inside Adiala Jail, where arguments were presented by the defence and prosecution.

Lawyer Salman Safdar, representing Bushra Bibi and PTI founder Imran Khan, filed the request for her exemption and submitted pleas seeking acquittal for both individuals. Safdar argued that additional documents supporting their case were forthcoming and requested more time.

Meanwhile, the prosecution opposed the acquittal pleas, arguing they served to delay the indictment process. The prosecutor asserted that the court had previously set multiple dates for indictments, but progress was hindered due to such requests.

The court, after hearing the parties, adjourned the case until Nov 8 and directed both parties to complete arguments on the acquittal pleas by the next hearing.
