ISLAMABAD, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 7th Jul, 2026) The Islamabad High Court has granted a final opportunity to lawyers representing PTI Founder and his wife, Bushra Bibi, to present arguments in their appeals against convictions in the £190 million case, warning that no further adjournments will be allowed.

In a written order issued by a division bench comprising Chief Justice Sardar Muhammad Sarfraz Dogar and Justice Muhammad Asif, the court said it would decide the appeals on the available record after hearing the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) if the appellants' counsel failed to advance arguments at the next hearing.

The bench accepted a request for adjournment based on an undertaking by senior lawyer Latif Khosa, whose power of attorney on behalf of Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi is already on record.

"The court makes it clear that if arguments are not advanced at the next hearing, no further adjournment will be granted, and the appeals will be decided after hearing NAB on the basis of the available record," the order stated.
