A new petition has been filed in the Islamabad High Court seeking an urgent decision on Bushra Bibi’s sentence suspension request in the 190 million pound case. The move comes after her reported eye surgery and ongoing medical concerns raised by her legal team.
The application was submitted by Barrister Salman Safdar, who argued that the case has been pending since May 2025. He requested the court to expedite proceedings due to what he described as a medical emergency situation. The plea also seeks immediate access for family and lawyers.
