Verdict in £190m case against Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi expected today – Pakistan

A much-anticipated verdict in the €190 million Al Qadir Trust case against jailed former prime minister Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi is expected on Friday (today).

Court officials informed lawyers that the judgment was expected to be announced at 11:30 a.m.

The case heard by an audit court was adjourned three times. After hearing final arguments on December 18, 2024, the judge, Justice Nasir Javed Rana, reserved judgment.

Initially scheduled for December 23, the decision was postponed to January 6, 13 and 17 (today).

During the latest hearing, Justice Rana expressed concerns over the non-appearance of the two suspects' legal teams while he was present in court from 8:30 a.m., according to reports. The decision was announced at 10:40 a.m. The decision was announced an hour after a district court in Islamabad rejected bail requests by Khan's wife.

Reacting to the development, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Gohar Ali Khan clarified that the postponement of the verdict in the case against Khan and his wife Bibi was not a result of any agreement.

On Thursday, the PTI negotiating committee presented its written demands to the government committee during the third round of talks in Islamabad.

The delay in announcing the judgment in 190 million cases was not due to any foreign pressure or relief, anchor Javed Chaudhry said on Saturday.

The delay in the decision belongs to someone else with whom the state engages. They have no connection with Khan. There is a space created for these people to decide where they want to go, he said during his appearance on Rubaroo which was aired on Aaj News.

But the columnist warned the decision would be announced if the jailed former prime minister continued to post anti-army chief messages on social media.

Background

Khan and his wife Bibi are accused of entering into a secret deal with a real estate tycoon through former prime minister aide Shahzad Akbar before transferring $190 million to Pakistan.

The former prime minister is said to have used his influence to get the deal approved by the federal cabinet. Akbar reportedly signed a confidentiality agreement with the National Crime Agency on December 6, 2019.

On March 24, 2021, Bibi allegedly helped the PTI founder by signing documents as an administrator of Al-Qadir University. Khan allegedly facilitated the amount through illegal and dishonest means, using the Supreme Court account by declaring the amount as a government asset through the secret deal.

Moreover, the two suspects allegedly acquired 240 kanals of land in Mohra Noor, Islamabad, through Farhat Shehzadi. They were found to be involved in corrupt practices.
