Islamabad High Court Monday accepted District and Sessions Judge Shahrukh Arjumand’s request seeking transfer of the iddat case related to the marriage of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf founder Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi.
The case has now been transferred to the court of Additional District and Sessions Judge Muhammad Afzal Majuka who will hear the case from June 25.
The IHC decision comes days after the judge wrote a letter to IHC registrar, stating that it will not be appropriate for him to announce the verdict in the aforementioned case due to reservations raised by Bushra’s former husband and petitioner Khawar Maneka.
He requested the registrar to transfer Bushra and Khan’s appeals against conviction to another court. The judge, in his letter, also complained of repeated disruptions by Maneka and his lawyers during the hearing.
