Bushra Bibi stated in her plea that she was being politically victimized and requested the court to grant early relief. The petition also requests the court to hear the pleas seeking suspension of the sentence.

Khan and Bushra were each sentenced to seven years in prison in February earlier this year after a trial court found their nikah to be fraudulent after Khawar Maneka, Bushra’s ex-husband, had moved the court against their nikah, stressing that it was solemnised during her iddat period.
