Islamabad: The District and Sessions Court of Islamabad on Monday held a hearing on an interim bail plea filed by Bushra Bibi, wife of the founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI).
The case was heard by Additional Sessions Judge Chaudhry Aamir Zia.
Advocate Ansar Kayani represented Bushra Bibi during the proceedings. During the hearing, he argued that Bushra Bibi is facing a verdict regarding a £190 million case and highlighted her requirement to appear in jail as part of the legal process.
He also stated that the Accountability Court had directed her to ensure her attendance in court.
