LEGAL
The Anti-Terrorism Court in Adiala Jail has discharged Bushra Bibi, the wife of former Prime Minister Imran Khan, from 12 cases related to the May 9 tragedy. The cases were tied to violent incidents that occurred in Rawalpindi.
Judge Malik Ijaz Asif presided over the hearing, where investigating officers from the May 9 cases and Bushra Bibi's legal counsel, Salman Safdar, were present. During the proceedings, the Rawalpindi police requested a physical remand for Bushra Bibi, which her lawyers contested.
After hearing the arguments, the court rejected the police's plea and ruled in favor of discharging Bushra Bibi from all 12 cases. This ruling marks a significant moment in the ongoing legal battles surrounding the events of May 9.
Bushra Bibi had been named in multiple cases following the May 9 incidents, which saw widespread unrest and violence in Rawalpindi. The court's decision to discharge her from these cases brings some relief to her amidst the broader legal challenges faced by the family.
The decision is likely to have wide-reaching implications as it comes at a time when political tensions remain high in the country.
