ISLAMABAD: Local court on Thursday upheld the sentence in the iddat case of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi.
Additional Session judge Mohammad Afzal Majoka rejecting the pleas filed by Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi seeking suspension of their sentences in the iddat case upheld the earlier sentence.
While hearing a plea filed by Bushra Bibi’s former husband Khawar Maneka, a district magistrate on February 3 convicted Bushra and Imran and sentenced them to seven years in prison for contracting marriage on January 1, 2028, without Bushra first observing the mandatory waiting—iddat—period.
Bushra Bibi, wife of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan, 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.
