£190 Million Scandal Reference Hearing Adjourned Until July 30 Due to Absence of Lawyers

The highly anticipated hearing regarding the £190 million scandal reference has been postponed until July 30. The Accountability Court, led by Judge Muhammad Ali Waraich, was forced to delay the proceedings due to the absence of the defense lawyers.

 

Key Details of the Hearing

Delayed Proceedings: The hearing, originally scheduled for 10:00 AM, was delayed by an hour as the lawyers were not present in the courtroom. Assistant lawyer Khalid Yusuf Chaudhry informed the court that the lawyers were outside and would join shortly. However, the delay persisted.

 

Absence of Defendants: Both the accused, PTI founder Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi, were absent from the court. Their nonappearance further contributed to the delay and subsequent adjournment of the hearing.

 

Court’s Decision: Judge Muhammad Ali Waraich, after waiting for the lawyers and noting their absence, decided to adjourn the hearing. The court has rescheduled the proceedings to July 30 for further action on the case.

 

Background

The £190 million scandal reference involves allegations of financial misconduct and irregularities. The case has drawn significant attention due to its high-profile nature and the involvement of prominent figures.

 

Current Status

With the hearing adjourned, the legal proceedings will resume on July 30. The court’s decision to delay the case aims to ensure that all parties, including the defense lawyers and the accused, are present for a comprehensive review of the case.

 

Next Steps

The adjourned hearing will be crucial for advancing the investigation and addressing the allegations at hand. The court’s decision to reschedule allows time for the necessary legal representatives to appear and participate in the proceedings.
