RAWALPINDI: A court of accountability postponed its decision on Wednesday about the acquittal of Bushra Bibi, the wife of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan, in the £190 million settlement case.
In a case that also involves a real estate mogul, the imprisoned former premier and his spouse are accused of causing the national exchequer to lose billions of dollars.
Judge Nasir Javed Rana of the Accountability Court will render a decision on Bushra’s plea tomorrow, Thursday, following the conclusion of the parties’ oral arguments.
For security considerations, the pair was brought before the judge in a makeshift courtroom made up in Adiala Jail for today’s hearing. However, because the PTI founder’s attorney was not there, the cross-examination of the National Accountability Bureau’s (NAB) investigating officer was not done.
