Written order to postpone verdict of £190m case issued

ISLAMABAD: The Accountability Court, Islamabad, has issued a written order to postpone the decision of 190 million pounds reference against the founder of PTI and Bushra Bibi until January 17.

The written order, issued by Judge Nasir Javed Rana, said that the accused PTI founder was summoned through the jail superintendent for the verdict, but despite the summons, the accused refused to appear.

The accused founder PTI refused to come to the court until the accused Bushra Bibi, family members and lawyers arrived. Despite waiting from 8:30 to 10:30 in the morning, none of the accused appeared in court.
