Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi Challenge Islamabad High Court Order in £190 Million Case

Legal proceedings in the £190 million case have taken a new turn as former Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi have challenged an Islamabad High Court order that set a final deadline for arguments on their appeals.

According to details, separate miscellaneous petitions were filed in the Islamabad High Court. Their counsel, Barrister Sultan Safdar, argued that the court’s directive imposing a final opportunity for arguments was harsh, unjust, and issued without sufficient justification.

The petitions state that no adjournment requests were made between March 19, 2025, and April 30, 2026, and that the first adjournment request was made on May 7 due to genuine reasons. It further argues that both petitioners are affected parties in the April 30 decision and have a legal right to file appeals against it.

Barrister Sultan Safdar also requested the court to direct prison authorities to allow meetings with the petitioners and to facilitate the signing of vakalatnamas (power of attorney documents) required for filing appeals before the Supreme Court.

The plea further alleges that the jail superintendent has unlawfully denied permission for meetings and access to legal documentation.
