ISLAMABAD – The Islamabad High Court on Wednesday ordered authorities to shift PTI founder’s wife Bushra Bibi to Adiala Jail from Bani Gala.
Bushra Bibi is spending her sentence in PTI founder’s Bani Gala residence which was declared a sub-jail after she was convicted in Toshakhana reference and unlawful marriage case.
Islamabad High Court’s Justice Miangul Hassan Aurangzeb announced his reserved verdict. Last week, the court had reserved the decision on a petition filed by Bushra Bibi against her imprisonment at sub-jail Bana Gala instead of Adiala Jail.
The court had reserved ruling after hearing arguments from both sides. The jail authorities had adopted the stance before court that security fears and overcrowding had forced them to declare Bani Gala as a sub-jail.
