In a move highlighting concerns over judicial fairness, an appeal has been filed against the 17-year sentences given to Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi in the Toshakhana-II case. The verdict was predetermined, as the judge issued the decision in the absence of both accused parties, rather than allowing them to present rebuttals during the scheduled hearing.
The appeal requests that the case be heard anew on January 7th, when courts reopen after winter holidays, emphasizing the need to overturn what many perceive as an unjust and biased ruling. This development has intensified calls for an impartial judicial process and justice for Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi.
The nation watches closely as the fight for fair treatment continues, demanding transparency and accountability in the legal proceedings.
