ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad local court today (Thursday) will announce a verdict on the pleas filed by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi seeking suspension of their sentences in the iddat case which may end the former prime minister’s imprisonment.
The district and sessions court on June 25, reserved its verdict on pleas against Khan and Bushra’s conviction, after directives from the IHC to decide the matter of suspension of the sentences within 10 days.
The court had also given one month for the decision on the petition filed by the couple against their conviction.
Meanwhile, Bushra had sought a decision on her plea filed in the sessions court seeking sentence suspension.
The reserved verdict will be announced today (Thursday) at 3pm, while the hearing on the couple’s pleas seeking annulment of their conviction in the said case will be resumed on July 2.
PTI awaits a favourable decision as a major relief for its founding chairman as he has been acquitted in some cases or has acquired bail in others.
