Bushra Bibi’s lawyer Salman Safdar objected to the jurisdiction of the trial court in the case.

Safdar argued that Nikkah was solemnised in Lahore but sentence was awarded in Islamabad which didn’t come under the ambit of this court.

After hearing from both sides, the court reserved the verdict which will be announced on June 27.
