FIA’s summon notice of Bushra Bibi in audio leaks case suspended
After a brief hearing on the application, the court suspended the FIA summons notice and sought a response from FIA.
Islamabad: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) Friday suspended the summon notice issued by Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan's wife Bushra Bibi.
According to details, Imran Khan's wife Bushra Bibi had filed a separate petition against the FIA investigation on the alleged audio leak.
Bushra Bibi had filed a separate petition IHC through lawyer Latif Khosa, in which it was stated that main case is already under hearing in this court and it was directed by the court earlier on September 18 that FIA should proceed according to law.
The petition further stated that main case is now scheduled for hearing on October 30. Despite the case being pending, FIA issued a summons notice on September 19.
Imran Khan’s wife pleaded in her petition that if FIA continues the action, it will affect the rights of the petitioner. Therefore while the case is pending, the court should suspend the FIA's notice.
Islamabad High Court’s Justice Babar Sattar heard the petition of Bushra Bibi in which Sardar Latif Khosa appeared on behalf of PTI chairman's wife.
After a brief hearing on the application, the court suspended the FIA summons notice and sought a response from the Federal Investigation Agency.
