Justice Miangul Hassan Aurangzeb presided over the hearing, where Bushra Bibi’s counsel, Barrister Salman Safdar, and FIA prosecutor Umair Majid Malik presented their arguments. The court questioned why Imran Khan was implicated in the case if Bushra Bibi had not declared the gifts. The FIA prosecutor reiterated that state gifts must be submitted and can only be retained after proper purchase through a legal process.

Despite the legal challenges and character assassination attempts during her time in jail, Bushra Bibi remained resilient. The Pakistani Nation salutes her bravery in facing these difficult times. Her release was celebrated after she was granted bail on surety bonds of Rs.1 million. She has now been released from Adiala Jail, with a detailed verdict expected soon.
