ISLAMABAD: A local court on Monday ordered the jail authorities to produce former prime minister Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi on April 4.
Additional District and Sessions Judge (ADSJ), Islamabad, Tahir Abbas Sipra heard the bail pleas and issued the production orders.
The appeals were filed in connection with Imran and Bushra’s bail in six May 9 violence cases and a Toshakhana fake receipts case.
Imran’s counsel Khalid Yousuf Chaudhry appeared before the court. Court’s orders to the superintendent of Adiala jail, where the couple is incarcerated, came after the jail authorities failed to mark Imran’s attendance via video link.
Last week, a separate court issued similar orders for Imran and PTI Vice Chairman Shah Mahmood Qureshi in a case of vandalism during the 2022 ‘Azadi March’.
The case against the former premier, ex-foreign minister and others was registered at the Karachi Company Police Station, Islamabad. Bushra Bibi has been accused of illegally selling a precious watch presented to Imran by the Saudi crown prince during the former’s term as the prime minister.
Islamabad’s Kohsar Police Station registered an FIR against Imran, Bushra, PTI leader Zulfi Bukhari under various sections of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC) including Section 420 for allegedly presenting fake receipts for buying and selling items obtained from the state’s gift repository known as Toshakhana.
