An Islamabad court on Saturday ordered release of former prime minister Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi in the illegal Nikah case.
Additional Sessions Judge Muhammad Afzal Majoka announced the short order for Khan and Bushra’s release. The judge had reserved the verdict in this case earlier in the day today.
Khan and Bushra were sentenced to seven years in prison and Rs500,000 fine each in February this year after a trial court found their Nikah to be fraudulent. Bushra’s former husband Khawar Maneka had moved the court against her marriage to Khan, founder and former chairman of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).
