Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi Hearing Judge Majoka’s Update July 3 Adjournment
Additional District and Sessions Judge Muhammad Afzal Majoka conducted a hearing on the pleas of Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi.
Khan’s counsel Zahid Bashir Dar and Murtaza Turi appeared before the court. Senior counsel Salman Akram Raja also represented the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf founder.
At the beginning of the proceedings, the court was requested to wait for some time for PTI’s lawyer Salman Safdar, and Khawar Maneka’s lawyer Zahid Asif.
Arguments
Salman Akram Raja requested the court to adjourn the hearing till July 3 saying he had to appear before the apex court in the reserved seats case of the Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) to which Judge Majoka asked Raja to prepare his arguments by the next hearing.
Raja pleaded before the court that malicious intention is a common factor between fraud and ill intention to which the judge remarked that if there was time to reconcile then this case falls in the jurisdiction of civil litigation, not criminal.
This doesn’t suffice to say that one would have reconciled if this or that had happened. Had he Khawar Maneka moved court the next day for reconciliation then it should have been taken differently but he remained silent for six years instead Raja responded.
