The Islamabad High Court has scheduled a hearing for Bushra Bibi’s plea seeking a transfer from Banigala to Adiala prison. Currently serving a jail term in connection to the Toshakhana and ‘un-Islamic’ Nikah cases, Bushra Bibi’s plea aims to revoke the sub-jail status assigned to Banigala. Expressing her desire to serve her sentence as an ordinary prisoner, Bushra Bibi voluntarily surrendered before the accountability court on January 31.
In the Toshakhana case, Bushra Bibi has been sentenced to 14 years in prison. An earlier plea for transfer to Adiala prison was filed on February 6. Notably, both Bushra Bibi and Prime Minister Imran Khan were handed 7-year jail terms in the ‘un-Islamic’ Nikah case on February 3, with a fine of Rs 500,000 each. The verdict was delivered by Judge Qudratullah. The upcoming hearing will address Bushra Bibi’s request for a transfer, shedding light on the legal proceedings surrounding these high-profile cases.
