The PTI founder’s wife Bushra Bibi on Wednesday filed an application to Islamabad High Court for early hearing of their petitions to suspend sentences in 190 million Pounds reference. The court has been requested to schedule the application for hearing along with the main appeal before the Eid holidays. Bushra Bibi, through her lawyers, has approached the Islamabad High Court and has taken the position that the sentence suspension case was scheduled for hearing on March 25 before a division bench comprising the acting Chief Justice of the Islamabad High Court, Sardar Sarfaraz Dogar and Justice Muhammad Asif. However, the petitioner’s main lawyer was busy in the Supreme Court due to a murder case. The court also postponed the sentence suspension applications due until after Eid. The petition states that the petitioner is a 54-year-old housewife. It has been requested that Bushra Bibi’s sentence suspension application along with the main appeal be scheduled for hearing before Eid.
