An Islamabad district and sessions court accepted appeals filed by former Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, against their conviction in the Iddat case, clearing them of the last known legal cases against them.
Khan and his spouse were sentenced to seven years in prison and awarded a fine of Rs500,000 each, in February earlier this year after a trial court found their nikah to be fraudulent.
The couple challenged their conviction and moved the IHC, seeking varying relief from the court.
The recent verdict, a significant milestone for the founder of PTI, holds immense importance. Imran Khan has been incarcerated since August last year in the Toshakhana case, and this decision could potentially change his circumstances.
While Khan got relief in significant cases like Toshakhana and cipher cases earlier this month, he remained behind bars in the Iddat case.
