As per details, Imran Khan’s lawyer Faisal Chaudhry confirmed the media that Accountability Court Judge Nasir Javed Rana gave a 14-year sentence to Imran Khan and a seven-year sentence to his wife Bushra Bibi in a makeshift courtroom at Adiala Jail
Judge Nasir also imposed a one million rupees fine on PTI founder and five hundred thousand rupees on his wife Bushra Bibi.in 190 Million Pounds Al-Qadir Trust Case.
According to the verdict, property of the “sham trust ‘Al-Qadir University Project Trust’ is hereby forfeited to the Federal Government within the meaning of Section 10(a) of the National Accountability Ordinance, 1999”.
“Both the convicts are present before the Court, they be taken into custody in this case and be handed over to the Superintendent Jail along with the Committal Warrant to serve the sentences so awarded,” it added.
The court ordered to take Al-Qadir University into official custody.
Chaudhry informed that Bushra Bibi expressed her firm support for Khan, saying: “I stand with him and will continue to do so.”
Khan’s lawyer remained hopeful, proclaiming: “We will win this match. This is a match for justice and fairness in the country, and Imran Khan will emerge victorious.”
Imran’s X account, citing his message from jail, asked his supporters not to lose hope ,“I will never accept this dictatorship, and I am prepared to remain in a prison cell for as long as it takes in the struggle against this tyranny. I will not compromise on my principles or the fight for the true freedom of the nation,” the post said, adding “I will not strike any deals and will face all the baseless cases against me.”
“Following the grim verdict in the Al-Qadir Trust case, the judiciary has further eroded its credibility. Judges who support tyranny and act on directives are rewarded. The judges nominated for the Islamabad High Court have only one qualification: delivering rulings against me”. criticising the judiciary, the statement added:
Imran alleged that the case’s outcome was “known to everyone beforehand, “everything was leaked to the media in advance. Such mockery has never been witnessed in the history of the judiciary. The same person who dictated the verdict to the judge also leaked it to the media.”
He further said that it would be useless to continue negotiations with the government,“Dishonest individuals never allow neutral umpires to intervene. The government is avoiding the demand for a judicial commission because it is dishonest.”
Barrister Gohar said, “The behaviour of the court has been unjust. Khan sahib has not benefitted from a single rupee from this matter.”
