Court to announce ruling in £190m case against Imran, Bushra on Jan 6

An accountability court in Islamabad on Monday postponed its verdict in the £190 million corruption case against former prime minister Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi.
The verdict was initially scheduled for today after the court reserved its decision on December 18, Express News reported.
However, Judge Nasir Javed Rana announced that the ruling would be delayed, noting the upcoming winter holidays and a course at the high court. The court’s official winter vacation begins on December 24 and runs until January 1.
The judge stated that the verdict against Imran and Bushra will be announced on January 6, 2025.
At the last hearing, Barrister Salman Safdar, counsel for the couple, argued that the case was one of “political revenge”, adding that the defence had been proved innocent in previous cases.
He said the case was one in which the matter involved PML-N President Nawaz Sharif’s son, Hassan Nawaz, as well and yet the latter was not included in proceedings.
