IHC orders transfer of Bushra Bibi from Bani Gala to Adiala jail
2024-05-10
[GEO.TV] The Islamabad High Court (IHC) announced on Wednesday ordered the transfer of former prime minister Imran Khan
...aka The Great Khan, who probably had the best of intentions, coupled with mediocre exeution...
’s spouse, Bushra Bibi, from the Bani Gala sub-jail to the Adiala jail.

IHC Justice Miangul Hassan Aurangzeb announced the reserved verdict on the petition filed by Bushra Bibi seeking her transfer to the Adiala jail — where her husband is currently incarcerated.

On May 2, the high court had reserved the verdict after hearing the arguments. The superintendent jail had relayed that they could not accommodate Bushra Bibi as the jail was already overcrowded and due to security issues.

The court also declared that the notification declaring Bushra Bibi's residence Bani Gala as a sub-jail "null and void".

Bushra was placed under house arrest at her residence in Bani Gala on January 31, following her conviction in the infamous Toshakhana case. The authorities had declared the Bani Gala residence a "sub-jail" to confine the former first lady at the request of Adiala jail superintendent.

On February 6, Bushra had challenged the authorities' move to imprison her at Bani Gala to serve a 14-year sentence in the case.

In the petition, Khan's wife maintained that like other political workers of the party, she was ready and willing to serve her sentence in the "Ordinary Jail Premises at Adiala Jail, rather than the declared sub-jail at her residence".
