Imran Khan's Iddat Case Verdict Expected by July 12

An Additional District and Sessions Court Judge in Islamabad is set to deliver a verdict on the appeal of Imran Khan and his wife in the Iddat case by the deadline of July 12, as mandated by the Islamabad High Court. The court had previously dismissed requests to suspend the sentences imposed on the couple in the Iddat case. During the recent hearing, arguments were presented by Imran Khan's counsel challenging the rejection of the sentence suspension.

The counsel referred to Section 7 of the Muslim Family Law, contending that family law falls under the jurisdiction of the Shariat Court. Various judicial decisions on Muslim law were cited, and the court deliberated on interpretations of the Iddat period, specifically focusing on the duration of the waiting period.

The defense emphasized the importance of the legitimacy of the Nikkah ceremony over allegations of adultery. Witness testimony, especially that of the woman involved, was highlighted as crucial during the arguments.

Subsequent to the hearing, the court has scheduled further arguments for a later date, with a strict deadline of July 12 for the final decision. The complainant's counsel has shown interest in hearing the counterarguments in the case.

PTI leaders, speaking to the media outside the court, alleged that the case against Imran Khan was politically motivated to target him. They expressed optimism for a favorable outcome in the proceedings.

The appeal in the Iddat Nikkah case was lodged in the sessions court following the sentencing of Imran and Bushra Bibi. The case was subsequently transferred to the current judge overseeing the proceedings.

The verdict on Imran Khan's Iddat case appeal is eagerly awaited by July 12, with legal arguments and interpretations playing a significant role in the proceedings. The case has garnered attention due to its implications on family law and the legitimacy of marital ceremonies. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
