An accountability court would not pronounce its reserved verdict in the £190 million settlement case against incarcerated Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan and his spouse, Bushra Bibi, sources claimed on Sunday.
hearing of the case against the couple would be held today (Monday) in the accountability court in Islamabad instead of Adiala Jail, where the former prime minister is incarcerated.
Meanwhile, the PTI's legal team has also been notified of the development as the accountability court would give new date for the announcement of verdict today, sources added. The ruling would be announced in the first week of January 2025, they said.
On December 18, Accountability Judge Nasir Javed Rana reserved the ruling after the counsels of PTI founder Khan and his wife concluded their final arguments in the case. The incarcerated ex-premier and former first lady were indicted in the high-profile corruption case on February 27 last year.
During the one-year long trial, the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) recorded testimonies of 35 witnesses, including former principal secretary Azam Khan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa ex-chief minister Pervez Khattak and former federal minister Zubaida Jalal.
The 71-year-old cricketer-turned-politician has been behind bars since August last year after he was sentenced in Toshakhana case-I — one of the dozens cases registered against the former premier since his ouster from power in April 2022.
