Petition seeking dismissal of the ‘un-Islamic’ marriage case against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan and former first lady Bushra Bibi was disposed of by the Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Wednesday.
Presiding over the hearing of the case, Chief Justice IHC AamerFarooq announced the reserved verdict, disposing of the plea submitted by deposed prime minister and former first lady.
In the order, Justice Aamer Farooq said that the petitioners have been indicted and the high court cannot interfere. After the court’s decision, the stay order on trial of Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi now vacated. The trial court in Rawalpindi will be able to proceed with this case.
Earlier, a Rawalpindi trial court on January 16, indicted former prime minister Imran Khan and his spouse Bushra Bibi in ‘un-Islamic’ marriage case.—INP
