Barrister Salman Safdar informed the court that it had been 12 days since the last hearing on Bushra’s bail application.
Justice Aurangzeb stated, “I experienced a high fever during my last appearance in court on October 9.”
“The recovery process was prolonged,” he noted.
Safdar said that the value of the gifts was diminished by a private purchaser, who he claimed had turned approver against Bushra Bibi.
Safdar stated that the customs authorities then assessed the worth of the commodities and found no irregularities.
Justice Aurangzeb queried, “Was it the decision of the then-executive (Imran Khan) to accept the gift after remitting 50% of the total value?”
The FIA prosecutor stated that no precedent exists for accepting gifts at 50% of their worth.
“What are your instructions on the bail application of Bushra Bibi?” Justice Aurangzed conducted a further inquiry.
“We will contest it,” stated the FIA prosecutor.
The court subsequently postponed the hearing until October 23.
