IHC removes objections on plea regarding Bushra Bibi's meetings with family

ISLAMABAD, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 30th Apr, 2026) The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Thursday removed objections raised by the registrar's office on a petition seeking access for meetings and a personal physician for Bushra Bibi, the spouse of the PTI founder, and directed that the case be fixed for hearing on Monday.

A single bench of Justice Arbab Muhammad Tahir heard the petition filed by Mubashra, the daughter of Bushra Bibi. During the proceedings, lawyers Salman Akram Raja, Ali Bukhari, Naeem Panjhuta, and Khaled Yousaf Chaudhry appeared before the court.

Justice Tahir observed that he had previously given a ruling requiring petitioners to approach the relevant authority before filing a petition.

"If you have not yet approached the jail authorities, do so today. The case will be numbered and heard on Monday," the judge said.

Salman Akram Raja said that the petitioner is Bushra Bibi's daughter, and her meeting should not be stopped. Bushra Bibi's health is not well, and she has also undergone surgery. There is an emergency situation in this case, and the court should hear it today or tomorrow, Raja argued.

Justice Tahir noted that Thursday was the last working day of the week. "Objections are being removed. The case will be heard on Monday, the first working day of next week," the judge said, adjourning further proceedings until Monday.
