Overview
- The Islamabad High Court, which issued its orders Monday, fixed the couple’s main appeals for Thursday, May 7 in the £190m Al‑Qadir Trust case.
- A division bench declared their sentence‑suspension applications infructuous once the appeals were scheduled and rejected a request to hear bail pleas first.
- A separate IHC order directed the Adiala Jail superintendent to rule within two days on Bushra Bibi’s requests for a personal physician and family visits and to appear in person on May 6.
- The court also sought replies from jail officials over an alleged failure to arrange lawyer meetings and to secure Imran Khan’s signature on a power of attorney.
- The case stems from allegations that repatriated funds tied to a UK probe were improperly adjusted in 2019 and linked to land routed through Al‑Qadir Trust, after which an accountability court sentenced Imran to 14 years and Bushra to seven years.
