The much-awaited verdict in the £190 million case against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, has been postponed for the third time.
The Accountability Court has now scheduled January 17 as the new date for the announcement of the verdict.
During today’s hearing, neither the lawyers for the accused nor the accused themselves appeared in court. Judge Nasir Javed Rana explained that he was unable to announce the verdict on January 6 due to training commitments.
The court highlighted that Bushra Bibi was informed of today’s scheduled verdict but failed to appear. Similarly, Imran Khan was sent two messages but did not attend the hearing either.
