ISLAMABAD:
The Islamabad High Court (IHC) has fixed a hearing date for various petitions seeking early hearing on suspension of sentences of former Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi in the ₹190 million case.
The IHC registrar has scheduled the applications for today (Thursday) and IHC Chief Justice Sardar Muhammad Sarfraz Dogar and Justice Azam Khan will hear the matter. A request was also filed to obtain an early hearing of the PTI founder’s request for suspension of sentence on medical grounds.
The main case has not yet been resolved, only the various requests have been set for hearing. The last hearing on the requests for suspended sentence was held on September 26, 2025.
The PTI founder has already filed a petition with the IHC seeking suspension of sentence and release on bail in the Toshakhana-II case, also known as the Bulgari case. A miscellaneous application was also made for an early resolution of the suspended sentence case in the £190 million case.
Earlier this month, two separate bail applications were filed with the IHC on behalf of the PTI founder through advocate Salman Safdar and advocate KhalidYousaf Chaudhry.
The petitions stated that Imran was suffering from a serious illness in his right eye. Dr. Muhammad Arif of PIMS diagnosed that due to a blood clot, the right eye was severely affected and the vision was reduced to only 15 percent. The disease cannot be treated properly in prison.
The petition further stated that the PTI founder was 73 years old and should be released on bail.
