Written decision on appeal to dismiss illegal marriage case issued

Islamabad: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) Friday issued a written decision of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan and former First Lady Bushra Bibi's plea to dismiss the illegal marriage case.

According to the details, a 16-page detailed decision has been issued by IHC Chief Justice Aamer Farooq.

In the written decision, the IHC rejected the plea to declare the summons issued on the charge of fraudulent marriage null and void.

The court said in a written decision that there was no violation of law in issuing a summons on the charge of marriage by fraud. IHC had ordered in the judgment that the accused to the extent of fraudulent marriage should fight the case on merit in the trial court.

According to the decision of the IHC, the petitions of founder PTI and Bushra Bibi have been partially accepted and as per the decisions of the Supreme Court, the case cannot be dismissed after the indictment.

It is pertinent to note that former Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi had filed petitions to dismiss the case in which it was appealed to dismiss the ongoing summons by declaring the case admissible.
