July 13, 2024
ISLAMABAD: Political examiners and specialists have said something regarding a locale and meeting court's decision vindicating Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) organizer Imran Khan and his life partner Bushra Bibi in the iddat case — otherwise called un-Islamic nikah case.
Extra Meetings Judge Muhammad Afzal Majoka on Saturday reported a saved decision and acknowledged the previous chief and his better half's supplications testing their conviction for the situation recorded by Khawar Maneka, Bushra's ex, against the couple's marriage.
In February, the cricketer-turned-lawmaker and Bushra, who is his third spouse, were condemned to seven years in jail and granted a fine of Rs500,000 each, after a preliminary court viewed their nikah as deceitful.
Notwithstanding, the couple had tested their conviction and had even moved the Islamabad High Court (IHC) looking for shifting alleviation from the court.
'Futile case shaped for political exploitation'
Responding to the present turn of events, columnist and investigator Shahzaib Khanzada, while addressing Geo News, said that the decision was a "fundamental choice" which holds massive significance for ladies.
He shed light on the awareness of the issues connected with separation and re-marriage, particularly on account of ladies in Pakistani society, who face difficulties after division from their mates.
"Regardless of whether it was normal, it was a very an important choice on the grounds that the past choice [conviction] was an exceptionally terrible one, it was terrible for ladies.
"An ex awakens following six to seven years, understands that his previous spouse had remarried during her iddat period and chooses to record a legal dispute against her and her ongoing husband, who thusly wind up getting life sentences," Khanzada said.
He demanded that regardless of a few unfair assertions by the PTI organizer on different occassions, the "confirmations and situations introduced for this situation didn't legitimize making it a lawbreaker case with such severe sentences".
The columnist accentuated that Maneka had made some "incredibly profane comments about his previous spouse" and the choice declared today was "right".
"This was a futile case which was plainly worked for political exploitation", he added.
'Maneka might go in advance'
In the mean time, senior columnist and broadcaster Hamid Mir was of the view that Maneka partook in the help (of strong circles) as the preliminary court's appointed authority was changed upon his shout, that too even after the previous appointed authority had held a decision for the situation.
He said had the decision come against the couple then this would have opened the entryway for additional such cases.
Mir said, according to his data, Imran and Bushra were contemplating documenting a slander body of evidence against Maneka now, while he, then again still reserved the privilege to go in request against the request.
'Imran's delivery currently relies upon other forthcoming cases'
Legal counselor Salaar Khan said that however the decision came as a significant help for Khan, his delivery actually relied upon other forthcoming bodies of evidence against him as, for the time being, it was not normal after his bail was dropped in the May 9 case recently.
"It will likewise rely upon whether a capture is requested in some other cases, and procedures in bid," he wrote in a post on X.
Of the multitude of arguments against Imran, the iddat case was, maybe, the "most ridiculous and disgusting", he said.
"A seven-year not set in stone after a public review of a lady's monthly cycles — has now legitimately been rubbished, with orders to deliver both Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi," he kept up with.
