Islamabad: Former first lady Bushra Bibi on Saturday challenged her sentence in Toshakhana case case.
Bushra Bibi, in her petition filed through Barrister Salman Safdar, prayed to the court to declare the accountability court’s verdict null and void.
Earlier, former PM Imran Khan had challenged his conviction in cipher and Toshakhana cases.
The PTI founder, through Barrister Ali Zafar, filed separate petitions before the Islamabad High Court against his sentences in the Toshakhana and cipher cases.
The Toshakhana plea made the state and the accountability bureau respondents and urged the IHC to “suspend the execution of the conviction and sentence” imposed on Imran.
Last month, an accountability court had sentenced Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi to 14 years imprisonment in the Toshakhana case.
Judge Muhammad Bashir announced the verdict, also disqualifying the former prime minister for 10 years while handing over a fine of Rs1.573 billion — 787 million each — to the couple.
