Islamabad: The District and Sessions Courts in Islamabad acquitted Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi with honor in the “Iddat marriage” case, accepting appeals against their sentences. The court dismissed both the applications of Khawar Maneka, directing the release of PTI founder and Bushra Bibi.
Additional District and Sessions Judge Mohammad Afzal Majoka conducted hearings on central appeals against the sentences in the “Iddat marriage” case involving PTI founder and Bushra Bibi. Khawar Maneka’s lawyer presented evidence stating, “During the trial, witnesses from the lawyers of PTI founder and Bushra Bibi were called. If they want to bring witnesses, we have no objection.” The lawyer repeated that Bushra Bibi did not inform any Mufti Saeed that her Iddat period had ended. Their lawyers repeatedly said that Bushra Bibi’s statement would be final, where is the statement written that Bushra Bibi did not marry during the Iddat period.
The lawyer said, “Khawar Maneka didn’t say anywhere that I accept the complaint because I am Muslim and I want justice according to Islam, the first marriage took place so why did the second marriage have to be presented, the first marriage was fraud.”
Khawar Maneka’s lawyer completed the evidence and also requested for a punishment in sections 496 and 494. Bushra Bibi’s lawyer preferred that the statement of Bushra Bibi is present in question number two in the statement 342, three to four months after the divorce Khawar Maneka also married and their daughter is also four years old.
PTI’s lawyer Salman Akram Raja, answering the answers, said, “There may be a defect in one thing, we cannot say fraud, 90 days’ time is irrelevant in that case, Khawar Maneka did not issue the divorce notice, so the question of 90 days does not arise, Legal defect may occur we cannot say fraud.” After Salman Akram Raja’s evidence was completed, the court accepted the appeals and acquitted both.
