Shehbaz’s defamation suit against Imran adjourned
A sessions court on Tuesday adjourned the hearing of a Rs10bn defamation suit filed by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif against incarcerated former prime minister Imran Khan due to absence of the plaintiff.
Additional District & Sessions Judge (AD&SJ) Farhan Nabi conducted the hearing of the suit.
Advocate Mian Muhammad Hussain Chotia appeared on behalf of the defendant, Imran Khan, however, the plaintiff, PM Shehbaz was not available for cross-examination.
The plaintiff’s lawyer informed the court that the prime minister was occupied due to engagements with a foreign delegation and was unable to attend the hearing.
The defendant’s lawyer told the court that he was fully prepared for cross-examining the prime minister, adding, “It seems that PM Shehbaz Sharif did not appear due to fear of cross-examination.”
However, the plaintiff’s lawyer said the prime minister was busy with a foreign delegation.
The judge adjourned further hearing on the request of the plaintiff’s counsel till March 22.
The suit pending since 2017 says Mr Khan wrongly accused PM Shehbaz of offering Rs10bn to him through a common friend in exchange for withdrawing the Panama Papers case from the Supreme Court.
Shehbaz said Mr Khan leveled baseless allegations against him, seeking a decree for recovery of Rs10bn as compensation from the defendant for publication of defamatory content. The PTI leader had filed his reply to the suit with a delay of four years in 2021, saying one of his friends told him that someone known to him and also the Sharif family approached him with an offer to pay billions of rupees if he could convince Mr Khan to stop pursuing the Panama case.
Mr Khan said he had disclosed the incident for the consumption of the public at large, and an act in the interest of the public good does not constitute any defamation.
He said maintained that he did not specifically attribute any statement to the plaintiff (PM Shehbaz) while narrating the incident.

Bushra Bibi requests urgent hearing on sentence suspension in £190m case
Former prime minister Imran Khan’s wife, Bushra Bibi, has approached the Islamabad High Court for an urgent hearing on her sentence suspension request in the £190 million case.
Bushra Bibi stated in her petition that the hearing was initially scheduled for March 25, but due to her lead counsel’s engagement in Supreme Court in a murder case, it was postponed. The court’s short cause list led to further delays, pushing the case beyond Eid.
She emphasised that as a 54-year-old housewife, her sentence suspension request should be heard before Eid along with the main appeal.
The petition listed the federal government and the NAB chairman as respondents.

Imran, Bushra approach court for better facilities in jail
Jailed former prime minister Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi have filed separate court applications for better facilities in the prison.
Mr Khan’s legal team, comprising advocates Zaheer Abbas, Chaudhry Usman Riaz Gill and Khalid Yousaf Chaudhry, filed the application before the special judge Central, Islamabad.
Mr Khan, 73, requested the court to direct prison authorities to allow him weekly audio/video calls with his sons, Qasim and Suleman Khan, who reside in the UK.
He cited the Punjab Prison Rules, which entitled inmates to weekly communication with family.
Mr Khan, who has been imprisoned since August 2023, alleged that jail officials have repeatedly ignored court orders (dated November 8, 2024, and January 10, 2025) mandating telephone contact with his sons.
The prison has a government-installed Public Call Office (PCO) system allowing inmates 20-minute weekly calls, yet Mr Khan pleaded he was denied even Eid 2025 calls.
This was a violation of Mr Khan’s fundamental rights and constituted discrimination, the petition said, adding that other inmates reportedly access the facility regularly.
In a parallel petition filed in the Islamabad High Court (IHC), Mr Khan’s wife challenged the prison department’s refusal to classify her under the ‘Better Class’ category as per Prison Rules 1978.
Ms Bushra noted that her husband had already been granted the status, which entitled prisoners to enhanced amenities based on social standing.
Ms Bushra, convicted in an accountability case related to 190mn corruption and jailed since January 17, 2025, claimed her repeated applications to the jail superintendent were ignored.
The petition, filed under Article 199 of the Constitution, accused the authorities of “colourable exercise of power” and demanded compliance with prison regulations.
A third application focused on Mr Khan’s health. The former PM, who has a history of medical issues, has sought regular check-ups by his personal doctors Dr Asim Yousaf, Dr Samina Niazi, and Dr Muhammad Aasim Yusuf (substituted for Dr Faisal Sultan, who is abroad).
The plea referred to an IHC order dated October 23, 2024, directing the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (Pims) to form a medical board including private doctors.
Mr Khan’s lawyers argued that irregular health examinations would jeopardise their client’s health, which would be a violation of constitutional rights under Article 9 (right to life).

Someone needs to explain to this mental khan he's in a jail not in some 5 star hotel that he's requesting facilities. He's lucky the authorities have been easy on him.
