Bushra Bibi appeared before the accountability court, where Deputy Prosecutor General Muzaffar Abbasi represented the National Accountability Bureau (NAB).

The NAB prosecutor also emphasised that they do not intend to arrest Bushra Bibi, and no arrest warrant has been issued by the NAB Chairman. However, concerns were raised about the court’s time being wasted during these proceedings.

All three bail petitions are based on the same grounds, as mentioned by the NAB prosecutor. The case will continue with arguments at the next hearing.

Earlier on Thursday, a district and session court in Islamabad extended the interim bail of Bushra Bibi in the Toshakhana case until September 12. Bushra appeared before Additional Sessions Judge Tahir Abbas Sipra’s court along with her lawyers Salman Safdar, Intezar Panjotha and Naeem Panjotha.

During the hearing, the investigation officer (IO) asked the court to allow the arrest of Bushra Bibi, adding that her audio had already been sent to the Federal Investigation Agency for the forensic. – INP
