Shahrukh Arjumand, the Special Judge for the Central Region, rejected the acquittal pleas submitted by Bushra Bibi and the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder in the prominent Toshakhana reference case.
On Monday, possible charges may be officially filed against the accused, thanks to the court’s decision.
Claims in the lawsuit center on the alleged misappropriation of presents from the Toshakhana, a state depository for such gifts, and the matter has attracted considerable public interest. Following the acquittal plea’s denial, the prosecution will likely move forward with more legal actions, and the parties involved will likely make additional court appearances.
