Bushra Bibi, wife of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan, on Saturday moved Islamabad High Court (IHC) against the conviction in Nikah case where they were sentenced to seven years in jail and Rs500,000 fines each on the couple.

As per details, the petition, filed by Barrister Salman Safdar, urged the court to suspend the sentence and release Bushra Bibi on bail.

Bushra Bibi stated in her plea that she was being politically victimized and requested the court to grant early relief.

The petition also requests the court to hear the pleas seeking suspension of the sentence.

On June 3, the Islamabad High Court (IHC) transferred PTI founder Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi Nikah Case to another court.

The case was transferred to the court of Additional District and Sessions Judge Muhammad Afzal Majoka.

Session Judge Shahrukh Arjumand had written a letter to the Chief Justice of the Islamabad High Court requesting the transfer of the case after Khawar Manika had objected to Session Judge Shahrukh Arjumand.

After the approval of the transfer plea, Additional District and Sessions Judge Muhammad Afzal Majoka will now hear the appeals against the sentence in the Nikah case.

During the last hearing on May 29, Khawar Maneka’s counsel requested Session Judge Shahrukh Arjumand to transfer the case to another judge as Maneka “don’t want the case verdict from you.”
