Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founding chairman Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi have been acquitted in the Iddat case.

Short order by court says Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi should be immediately released if they were not wanted in other cases.

Earlier today, it was reported that a district and sessions court in Islamabad led by Judge Muhammad Afzal Majoka has reserved its decision on the appeals against the sentences of Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi in the iddat marriage case.

Additional District and Sessions judge Afzal Majoka during a hearing on Friday had remarked that the ideology about jurisprudence matters could not be challenged in the court.

During the hearing of the appeal, Judge Majoka also remarked that under the Hanafi jurisprudence when divorce is pronounced three times, there would be no reproach, and hence no requirement for Iddat.

On July 3, Sessions court Judge Muhammad Afzal Majoka emphasised that the verdict in the Imran Khan-Bushra Bibi Nikkah Iddat case will be announced by July 12.

Earlier, an Islamabad court on June 27 had rejected pleas seeking the suspension of sentences handed down to PTI founding chairman Imran and his wife Bushra Bibi in the iddat (mandatory waiting period for Muslim women between two marriages) case.

The founding chairman has faced a barrage of cases especially after May 9, 2023. He has been granted bail in many of thoses cases and with the Toshakhana case sentences suspended and the acquittal in the cipher case, the PTI supremo now remains incarcerated at Adiala jail solely in the Iddat case.

The Iddat case

On February 3, Imran and Bushra Bibi were sentenced in the Iddat Nikkah case. Twenty days later, the appeal against the verdict was filed in the sessions court. Judge Arjumand heard the appeal and was expected to announce his ruling on May 29, when he requested the IHC to send the case to another judge.

On June 9, Bushra Bibi filed a petition in the IHC seeking the suspension of her conviction and sentencing in the Iddat case.

On June 11, the court questioned the validity of a judge's recusal from the case, suggesting that the reason for withdrawal might not be justified.

On June 13, the IHC ordered the additional sessions court of Islamabad to decide the appeals of PTI founder Imran Khan and his wife Bushra against their conviction in the Iddat Nikkah case in one month.

Later, the IHC transferred the case to ADSJ Muhammad Afzal Majoka. Imran and Bibi challenged the transfer of the appeal in the IHC through lawyer Salman Akram Raja. However, the registrar's office raised the objection that the appeal was pending before the session court.

 
Interesting. Looks like the Establishment were just waiting for the IMF deal to be signed before allowing his release. He's probably agreed not to stand in the way of it and now they're okay to let the parties continue squabbling against each other as long the big stuff is not impeded.
 

Top court judgment provided PTI relief that wasn't even sought: Azma Bokhari​


Punjab Minister for Information Azma Bokhari Saturday attacked the Supreme Court's decision in the reserved seats case, saying it provided the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) the relief that it did not even ask for.

Talking to media persons in Lahore, the provincial information minister stated the apex court judgment introduced a "super" doctrine of necessity.

Pakistan had endured harm because of the love showered on the blue-eyed boy, she said, adding that nations always suffered loss for the doctrine of necessity.

“(In the plea,) the PTI did not even ask for the reserved seats (for itself), but they have been granted those for free. Why is there so much love for a party? The ladla is provided relief, even if he does not ask for it,” she retorted.

In a major legal victory for the PTI, the Supreme Court on Friday ruled that the party is eligible for the allocation of reserved seats.

The decision has not only paved the way for the PTI's return to the parliament, which was kicked out of the February 8 polls owing to the Election Commission of Pakistan's (ECP) December 2023 ruling.

Justice Mansoor Ali Shah of the SC's full bench announced the 8-5 majority verdict, nullifying the Peshawar High Court's (PHC) order wherein it had upheld the ECP’s decision denying the reserved seats to the PTI-backed Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC).

The order was endorsed by Justice Shah, Justice Munib Akhtar, Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar, Justice Ayesha A Malik, Justice Athar Minallah, Justice Syed Hasan Azhar Rizvi, Justice Shahid Waheed and Justice Irfan Saadat Khan.

In its verdict, the top court declared that the lack or denial of an election symbol does not in any manner affect the Constitutional or legal rights of a political party to participate in an election, whether general or by, and to field candidates and that the commission is under a Constitutional duty to apply all statutory provisions accordingly.

Commenting on the order, Bokhari said the verdict has opened the doors for floor-crossing and the one who was not a party in the case was provided relief, without hearing any affected party.

“The constitution does not grant unlimited power to anyone,” she said, adding that the judiciary and doctors had no room for error.

 
The process for the release of PTI founder and Bushra Bibi continues

What has suddenly happened that the courts, which were once against Imran Khan, are now in his favor? Food for thought.
When you have nothing, nothing can only last so long. Aren't you the guy that kept banging on about Farah but forgot to mention that her alleged partner in crime was supposedly Buzdar and you couldn't mention any cases.

Those that prosecuted this stupid case should do the 7 years IK and Bushra were jailed for. This was not only Toheen Islam for political purposes, it went against all natural justice.
Do you think a deal has been done of some sorts and Imran has accepted restrictions?

I hope not. And I know it's easy for me to say that he shouldn't as I am not in prison, serving time for not being a puppet of the criminal mafia. None of these cases have any merit and a year of his life has been taken. Maybe the establishment are putting all their eggs in the Al Qadr trust case as MR, despite his protestations has caved into the mafia which he is a paid up member. But as soon as that case comes under any scrutiny, it too will be binned.

Did I forget to mention the cases against Buzdar? I think you should re-read the essay I wrote for you about Farah Gogi and Buzdar, which details all the corruption cases against PTI, with links to renowned sources.
 
What a messy country. Why are there even laws about somebody’s iddatt. Nonsense!

I did. There were no cases.The allegations against Buzdar started straight away because establishment wanted Aleem Khan as CM and IK has said so on many occasions. and against Gogi was all part of this plan, hence no cases. Buzdar is in PK today, so what have they charged him with.

Release from jail remains elusive as Imran, Bushra ‘arrested’ in new case after Iddat conviction overturned​


A possible release from prison remained elusive for former prime minister Imran Khan and his spouse Bushra Bibi on Saturday as the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) arrested them in a new Toshakhana case hours after they were acquitted by an Islamabad court in the Iddat case.

NAB Deputy Director Mohsin Haroon confirmed to Dawn.com that Imran and Bushra Bibi were arrested in a fresh Toshakhana case on Saturday evening. Details of the case, however, have not been made public so far.

Earlier, an Islamabad district and sessions court accepted the appeals filed by Imran and his spouse against their conviction in the Iddat case, clearing the last existing legal case at the time keeping the PTI founder 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. Various courts have also acquitted him in several other cases filed against him since the events of May 9, 2023 — the day when his first arrest had caused riots across the country, following which the state launched a crackdown against him and his party.

Imran’s legal position:

The IHC in May also approved Imran’s bail application in the 190 million pound corruption case, saying that the investigation into the matter was complete and the PTI founder’s “continued incarceration” would not serve any purpose.

However, a Lahore anti-terrorism court on Tuesday dismissed Imran’s pre-arrest bail petitions in three cases related to the May 9 riots.

The couple was convicted in the Iddat case on February 3 — days before the general elections — on a complaint filed by Bushra Bibi’s ex-husband, Khawar Fareed Maneka, who alleged that they contracted marriage during the former first lady’s Iddat period.

Senior civil judge Qudratullah had sentenced the ex-premier and his spouse to seven years in jail and imposed a Rs500,000 fine each — a decision that was widely criticised by civil society, women activists and lawyers. The verdict had coincided with the Toshakhana and cipher case sentences.

Previously, District and Sessions Judge (DSJ) Shahrukh Arjumand was hearing the case and had reserved the verdict in May. However, on the day of its expected announcement, he sought a transfer of the case, citing Maneka’s request for recusal from hearing the appeals. Subsequently, the case was transferred to the court of Additional DSJ Afzal Majoka.

Last month, ADSJ Majoka had rejected another set of pleas filed by Imran and his wife seeking the suspension of their sentences.

ADSJ Majoka announced the judgment today at 3pm after reserving the verdict earlier in the day.

After accepting their appeals, the judge said: “If they are not wanted in any other case, then PTI founder Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi should be released [from jail] immediately.”

Earlier today, a pair of applications was filed by Maneka — one was to carry out the medical checkup of Bushra Bibi, his ex-wife, to ascertain her menstrual cycle while the other application called on religious scholars and ulemas for consultation on further deliberation on the duration of Iddat.

The judge, in his order, dismissed both applications, adding that the orders for the release of the PTI founder and his spouse were issued.

According to the short order, a copy of which is available with Dawn.com, appeals filed by both appellants were accepted and the couple were acquitted of the charge.

“Whereas […] the Superintendent Central Prison Adiala, Rawalpindi is required and authorised to release the above-referred appellants forthwith if they are not required in any other case,” it said.

Rana the Qatil made it clear that if IK is cleared in one case, he will do time for another fake case then another one. This is the level of Pak injustice and then some have the audacity to claim that IK damaged PK.

This corrupt system will never let IK go free again. They will do anything to keep him in jail so that the mafia can keep looting this country and there is no one to call them out.
 
Maneka challenges acquittal of Imran, Bushra in Iddat case

Khawar Fareed Maneka moved the Islamabad High Court on Friday against the acquittal of former prime minister Imran Khan and Mr Maneka’s ex-wife Bushra Bibi in the Iddat case.


In his appeal, Mr Maneka said the additional district and sessions judge (ADSJ) had acquitted Mr Khan and Bushra Bibi while ignoring key aspects of the case.

On July 13, ADSJ Mohammad Afzal Majoka had acquitted both in the case by setting aside their conviction by a trial court.

In the 28-page verdict, Judge Majoka rejected the allegations of Khawar Maneka that the nikah of Mr Khan and Bushra Bibi was fraudulently performed and that Mr Maneka was deprived of riju (reconciliation rights) as per religious law.

The court had also rejected the allegation of fornication under Section 496-B of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC), saying that no charge was framed under this section against both Mr Khan and his spouse “because there was no evidence of second witness”. The only witness who testified before the trial court was Mr Maneka’s domestic servant.

“In these circumstances, it cannot be said that the appellants committed fornication,” the court ruled. As far as the charge of contracting marriage fraudulently during the Iddat period, the judge was of the view that in a video produced as evidence during the trial, Mr Maneka praised his ex-wife, Bushra Bibi, and “deposed that his ex-wife is a pious lady”.

The judge questioned “how this witness [Mr Maneka] can claim that the appellant No. 2 [Bushra Bibi] committed fraud with him”.

The court had ruled: “From a perusal of Section 496 PPC and the above-mentioned esteemed citations, this court is of the view that the appellants have not gone through any marriage ceremony fraudulently or with dishonest intention because none of the parties claimed that nikah was not performed and fraudulently he or she was supposed to believe that marriage ceremony was solemnised.”

The court order added: “In the instant case, it is the case of the complainant that on Jan 1, 2018, the nikah of the appellants was performed, and then the second nikah was performed in February 2018. In this way, by no stretch of imagination, it was a marriage with dishonest or fraudulent intention.”

In response to Mr Maneka’s assertion that he was deprived of reconciliation rights and thus was defrauded by Mr Khan and Bushra Bibi, the court noted that during the cross-examination, Mr Maneka deposed that he came to know the appellants’ marriage on the second day of their nikah.

The judge had questioned why Mr Maneka remained silent about his reconciliation rights for six years before filing the complaint.

The judge had noted that the “complainant has failed to prove his case against the appellants. Accordingly, both the appeals filed by appellant No. 1 [Imran Khan] and No. 2 [Bushra Bibi] are accepted, the judgement of the learned trial court dated Feb 3, 2024, is set aside, and consequently, both the appellants are acquitted of the charge”.

The court had ordered their release unless they were required to be detained in other cases. In his appeal, Mr Maneka requested the IHC to set aside ADSJ’s acquittal order.

Mr Khan and Bushra Bibi were convicted by an Islamabad court in the Iddat case and sentenced to seven years in jail each on Feb 3, five days before the general elections.

Bushra Bibi fears for imran khan’s life, alleges inhumane conditions for him in jail​


Bushra Bibi, the wife of former prime minister Imran Khan, expressed grave concerns about her husband’s safety in Adiala Jail.

Speaking informally to journalists at the prison on Saturday, she revealed fears for her own life as well.

Bushra Bibi stated that Imran Khan’s life is in danger, mentioning past incidents where he was allegedly poisoned and shot at.

She added that their legal request to investigate the poisoning has not been addressed by the court yet.

Describing conditions in the jail, Bushra Bibi alleged that Imran Khan was kept in unsanitary conditions and given contaminated food to eat.

She mentioned that during their meeting in Attock Jail, Khan appeared emaciated and had to pick insects from his hair throughout the night.

Bushra Bibi also criticised the treatment of political prisoners compared to convicted criminals.

She highlighted that other prisoners received VIP treatment, while Khan struggled without basic amenities.

During the conversation, a journalist questioned Bushra Bibi about claims of adding toilet cleaner to food and her accusations against the authorities.

She responded firmly, asserting that these claims are true, despite lacking physical evidence.

Imran Khan intervened briefly, cautioning his wife about the limitations of the media, which led to a brief protest from the attending journalists.

Khan attempted to stop Bushra Bibi from speaking, stating, "Censored media won’t broadcast your words."

This remark prompted the journalists to protest, asserting that all his statements are aired.

The session ended with Bushra Bibi emphasising her and Imran Khan's willingness to swear an oath that the charges against them are fabricated.

Despite Khan's concerns, Bushra Bibi insisted on sharing her story with the media.

Imran Khan in 'presidential suite' of Adiala Jail, not death cell: Tarar​


The federal government has rejected incarcerated Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan's allegations of being imprisoned in a "death cell" used for keeping "terrorists" and clarified that the former prime minister's cell in Rawalpindi's Adiala Jail is like a "presidential suite" where he enjoys all facilities.

Information Minister Ataullah Tarar slammed the deposed premier for claiming that he was imprisoned in a death cell when, in actuality, he was in a "presidential suite", which is better than a middle-class family's house.

"You are telling the West that you're facing troubles, and you're imprisoned in a death cell. This death cell is a 'presidential suite' in Adiala jail, which is better than a middle-class house," Tarar said during a press conference in Islamabad.

Imran, in an interview with The Sunday Times through his lawyers, claimed that he was imprisoned in a death cell, where "terrorists" are kept to ensure "they have no contact with anyone".

The 71-year-old cricketer-turned-politician has been in prison for almost a year now in three cases — the Toshakhana case, cipher case, and the un-Islamic marriage case. His wife, Bushra Bibi, is also behind bars.

However, a court suspended his sentence in the Toshakhana case, while other courts overturned his convictions in the cipher and iddat cases, respectively.

While there were hopes for his and Bushra's release in July, they were dashed when the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) arrested them on fresh charges related to the sale of state gifts.

As Imran remains behind bars, he has kept claiming that he's not being provided several facilities, but to set the record straight, the government submitted documentary evidence of facilities being provided to the PTI founder in Adiala jail, rebutting his claims that he was being kept in solitary confinement.

The pictures shared with the court showed that the PTI founder was provided with several facilities that a common prisoner cannot imagine — since he's a former prime minister.

Imran has an exercise bike and stretching belt for physical fitness, books, a separate kitchen, a special menu, an exclusive gallery for a walk, LED, a room cooler, and a study table.

In his presser, while referring to the interview, he reminded the people of how a "dictator" Imran would treat his political opponents — regardless of their gender.

"[They knew] Shehbaz Sharif had a pain in his back. Despite that, he was brought in an armoured car and pushed, and it is visible in the footage. Maryam Nawaz was in a 7x8 cell, where she could not even spread the prayer mat properly, she was not even allowed to walk."

Recalling how former prime minister Nawaz Sharif was treated, Tarar said the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz president's wife died while he was in prison. He claimed that a fire was lit using wood outside Rana Sanaullah's jail cell in extremely hot weather.

"These are his words, 'I will take off the AC and TV, and not give you food, I will not allow them medicines or visits," Tarar said, reminding the people about what Imran would say about his plans for imprisoned PML-N leaders.

In response to a question, Tarar said his government did not want to victimise its political victims and that the authorities also follow through on Imran's requests for "desi murghi ".

 
PTI via X:

Why are Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi in jail?

Last year, former NAB chairman Aftab Sultan resigned after just eight months, citing "interference" and "pressure" to file political cases in his resignation letter, saying he had never compromised on his principles. Neither did he nor will they initiate false cases, and they will not back down from proven cases due to pressure from anyone. He also mentioned receiving "dictations through telephone calls", which he refused to comply with.

After his departure, Nazir Ahmed Butt, a retired lieutenant general, was appointed as NAB chairman, following which a series of fake cases against Imran Khan and his wife began. The proven cases against Nawaz Sharif, Shehbaz Sharif, Zardari, and other PDM ministers were withdrawn under the leadership of Nazir Ahmed. This shows the dishonesty and unscrupulousness of the present chairman of NAB, as he did what the former chairman of NAB refused to do: that is, to create false cases against Imran Khan and dismiss the real cases against the imposed government.

To be honest, Nazir Ahmed is acting as a facilitator for the current fake government and the military establishment that supports it, and his only responsibility is to keep Imran Khan in jail and provide all security to the imposed gang.
 
And as far brain washing concerned- well you are the guy that believes NS and the mafia won. Even their own supporters say they didn't because if they did why is NS not PM? Brain washing works on brain dead that don't mind the daily humiliation of supporting a constitutional amendment that they didn't read or can't read. Are you illiterate

Democracy is a western concept even in the west there's no true democracy because all parties follow the similar agenda of zionism and nwo, that's why likes of jeremy corbyn , galloway and tommy robinson will never be in position to become leaders.

As for pakistan I've told where half the population is stunted during childhood there's no point voting the intellect is not there tomorrow if pakistan gave asylum to salman khan and establishment pushed him as PM , millions would vote him in as a pm .
Your own leader was an establishment project that got out of control like chernobyl reactor

So because your clowns are running a clown show and don't have any support, we need to suffer their incompetence as PKs. May I remind that NS believed in Democracy when Mush overthrow him but today he is a puppet under the thumb of guns. But we always knew that the duffer was thug without a democratic bone in his body.
As far as zionism is concerned, why has NS and AZ sent their money into countries that are called zionists and who have brought them into power and kept them in power. NSs both sons are UK citizens and they had no connection with the UK( if you know any please enlighten us) .

Do you condemn them for their assets in the West🤣🤣🥰🥰
 

IHC sets one-month deadline for decision on Iddat case appeal​


The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Thursday mandated a swift decision on appeal regarding the Iddat case involving Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi.

On February 3, Imran and Bushra Bibi were sentenced in the Iddat Nikkah case. Twenty days later, the appeal against the verdict was filed in the sessions court. Judge Arjumand heard the appeal and was expected to announce his ruling on May 29, when he requested the IHC to send the case to another judge.

Later, the IHC transferred the case to Additional District and Sessions Judge Muhammad Afzal Majuka. Imran and Bibi challenged the transfer of the appeal in the IHC through lawyer Salman Akram Raja. However, the registrar office raised the objection that the appeal was pending before the session court.

Justice Mian Gul Hassan Aurangzeb, presiding over the hearing today, instructed the session court to resolve Bushra Bibi's plea for suspension of the sentence within 10 days and ordered a decision on the appeal within a month.

During the proceedings, lawyer Salman Akram Raja, representing the petitioners, expressed concerns over the abrupt transfer of the case from the original Sessions Judge to an Additional Session Judge.

Raja questioned the rationale behind this sudden change and urged the court to direct Sessions Judge Shah Rukh Arjumand to deliver the reserved verdict.

He suggested that, alternatively, the high court could take up the appeal itself or reassign it to the Session Judge West. Emphasising the need for a prompt resolution, he noted that the trial had concluded in two days and argued that the appeal should be treated with similar urgency.

Khawar Maneka's lawyer, Raja Rizwan Abbasi, contested the transfer, highlighting that an objection had been previously raised and dismissed. Abbasi asserted that the administrative decision to refer the appeals to the Additional Session Judge West was unchallengeable.

After considering arguments from both sides, Justice Aurangzeb reaffirmed the court's directive. He tasked Additional Session Judge Afzal Majoka with rendering decisions on both the suspension request and the appeal within the specified deadlines.
