A district and sessions court in Islamabad on Thursday reserved its verdict on the pleas filed by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf founder Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi in the un-Islamic nikah case.
Judge Shahrukh Arjumand, who heard the case, reserved the verdict before leaving the courtroom for his chamber.
The judge will pronounce the court’s decision on May 29. The verdict was reserved after the court heard arguments of lawyers from both sides.
Salman Akram Raja is Khan’s lawyer in the case, while Bushra Bibi’s counsel Usman Gul and prosecutor Adnan Ali were present in court when the verdict was reserved.
The assistant counsel for the complainant said Rizwan Abbasi, the lawyer of Khawar Maneka — Bushra Bibi’s former husband — has to give arguments, as the record is not with him.
