The court approved a meeting at 2pm on Wednesday and instructed authorities to ensure access, noting that court-approved \u0645\u0644\u0627\u0642\u0627\u062a days had faced restrictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bench indicated it could decide the main appeals within a week if arguments begin, proposing to fix hearings twice weekly. \u201cYou meet your client and assist the court,\u201d the chief justice remarked, underscoring the intent for expeditious proceedings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, Safdar urged the court to first take up the suspension of sentence applications, particularly for Bushra Bibi, before formally commencing appeal hearings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The case was adjourned till April 9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Imran Khan, jailed since August 2023, is serving a 14-year sentence in the \u00a3190m case, also known as the Al-Qadir Trust case, while Bushra Bibi was sentenced to seven years. Both had challenged their convictions earlier this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The case pertains to allegations that the couple received financial benefits and land from a private housing society in exchange for facilitating the legalisation of funds repatriated from the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Separately, Imran also faces conviction in another Toshakhana case and ongoing trials under the Anti-Terrorism Act linked to the May 9, 2023 unrest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Tuesday directed jail authorities to arrange a meeting between PTI founder Imran Khan and his lawyer to prepare arguments in the \u00a3190 million corruption case, while signalling a fast-track hearing of the appeals.
