By Our Staff Reporter 2024-09-27
LAHORE: The Lahore High Court (LHC) was informed on Thursday that a total of 12 criminal cases had been registered against incarcerated Bushra Bibi, the wife of PTI founding chairman Imran Khan.

Additional Advocate General Sattar Sahilfiled a report before the court, saying 12 police cases wereregistered against Bushra, namely 11 in Rawalpindi and one in Attock.

A federal government`s lawyer also mentioned that a case related to Toshakhana was registered against her by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB).

In light of the governments` reports, Justice Tariq Saleem Sheikh disposed of a petition by Bushra Bibi seeking details of all undisclosed casesregistered againsther.

The petition contended that thepetitioner had been unlawfully impris-oned despite notbeing required in any criminal case following her acquittal, confirmation of bail and suspension of the sentences in all previous cases registered against her. It said if the petitioner was arrested in any other case without bringing it to her knowledge, it would amount to miscarriage of justice.

The petitioner`s lawyer asked the court to order the respondents to submit a fresh list of disclosed and undisclosed cases against his client and also issue an order preventing her arrest in any such cases.
