Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Founder Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi have lodged an appeal against the recent verdict in the illegal marriage case at the District and Sessions Courts in Islamabad.
The appeal, filed on Friday, challenges the judgment delivered by Civil Judge Qudratullah on February 2, which found the couple guilty of solemnising their nikah during Bushra Bibi’siddat after getting a divorce from her former husband Khawar Maneka.
The sessions court is scheduled to mark the couple’s appeal today. According to sources close to the matter, Bushra Bibi’s legal team has strongly criticized the verdict, alleging it to be “contrary to the facts”.
Meanwhile, Imran Khan on Friday filed pleas against convictions in the cipher and Toshakhana case in Islamabad High Court again.
PTI founder Imran Khan’s convictions in cipher, Toshakhana and the ‘un-Islamic’ Nikah case, were earlier challenged in the Islamabad High Court. However, the pleas were taken back by Khan’s counsel after objections from the IHC registrar’s office.
Bushra Bibi also challenged the Toshakhana case trial court verdict in IHC again.
