Bushra Bibi Requests Court for Private Meeting with Imran Khan in Jail

Former First Lady Bushra Bibi has officially filed a request with the Islamabad High Court, seeking permission for a private meeting with her husband, former Prime Minister Imran Khan, who is currently in Adiala jail.

The petition emphasized compliance with court directives that allow private meetings with PTI Chairman Imran Khan every Tuesday, urging the court to grant approval for such confidential interactions. It underscored the sensitivity of family matters, highlighting the hindrance posed by official presence during discussions on familial issues.

Additionally, Bushra Bibi urged the Superintendent of Adiala to issue orders facilitating her private meeting with the Prime Minister. Simultaneously, she submitted a plea for pre-arrest bail to the Islamabad High Court as a precautionary measure against a potential arrest.

Accompanied by the legal team of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Bushra Bibi underwent biometric verification, and details of her ongoing cases were presented during the court proceedings.

The bail application of Bushra Bibi and former Prime Minister Imran Khan was heard by Additional Session Judge Tahir Abbas Spra of the District and Sessions Courts in Islamabad. At this stage, the court did not summon PTI Chairman Imran Khan nor provide any report on his appearance. However, Bushra Bibi’s lawyer, Khalid Yousaf Chaudhry Advocate, represented her in court. The court extended the interim bail in the transit bail petition until November 28, scheduling a hearing on six cases.

Two days prior, Bushra Bibi appeared before the National Accountability Bureau (NAB), where NAB presented 11 questions to her. These queries reportedly revolve around Bushra Bibi, Zulfi Bukhari, and the Chairman of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). Specifically, seven questions address trust and university accounts. Bushra Bibi’s legal team is diligently preparing responses to address the 11 questions posed by the NAB.
