Islamabad: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Thursday reserved its verdict on a petition filed by former prime minister Imran Khan’s wife Bushra Bibi seeking her transfer from Bani Gala sub-jail to Adiala jail.
IHC Justice Miangul Hassan Aurangzeb reserved the verdict after hearing the arguments.
Bushra Bibi had challenged the Punjab government’s move to imprison her at Bani Gala instead of Adiala jail.
Bushra was placed under house arrest at her residence in Bani Gala on January 31, following her conviction in Toshakhana case.
The authorities had declared the Bani Gala residence a sub-jail to confine the former first lady at the request of Adiala jail superintendent.
The accountability court’s Judge Muhammad Bashir awarded Bushra and Khan a 14-year jail term, each in Toshakhana case.
The court also disqualified the former prime minister for 10 years from holding public office besides imposing a fine of Rs1.57 billion — 787 million each — on the couple.
