Details reveal that the orders were given in response to a plea filed by Bushra Bibi and the PTI founder, asking for the trial to be stopped, by Chief Justice Amir Farooq and Justice Gul Hasan Aurangzeb.
Additionally, notices on the petition have been sent out by the Islamabad High Court, which has postponed the hearing until September 26.
In a £190 million settlement reference, PTI founder Imran Khan had earlier had his request for acquittal denied by an Accountability Court.
Before rejecting the plea, Judge Nasir Javed Rana of the accountability court heard arguments from both parties in Rawalpindi’s Adiala Jail.
Imran Khan’s attorney contended that Al-Qadir University is a trust and that his client was not involved in the university’s financial operations and did not receive any personal benefits from it.
NCA situation
The acquisition of hundreds of canals of land in the name of Al Qadir University Trust is the subject of an inquiry by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) against Imran Khan, his wife, and other individuals. The investigation is said to have cost the national exchequer 190 million pounds.
The indictments state that the National Crime Agency (NCA) of Britain handed the government Rs50 billion, or 190 million pounds at the time, which the former prime minister and other accused parties allegedly modified.
Regarding Al-Qadir University, the NAB reported corruption against Imran and seven other people, including his spouse.
On December 26, 2019, the PTI chief registered the Al-Qadir University Project Trust.
