Legal Challenge Against Registrar's Decision in Al-Qadir Trust Case

Former Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi have filed a legal challenge against the Supreme Court registrar's decision to reject their petitions seeking suspension of sentences in the Al-Qadir Trust case.

The couple was convicted in January 2025 for corruption charges related to the illegal transfer of funds from a UK repatriated account to settle Bahria Town liabilities.The Islamabad High Court initially rejected their plea for sentence suspension, leading to the current appeal.

The petition argues that the registrar's office overstepped its administrative powers by dismissing the case, as the Supreme Court has jurisdiction under Article 185(3) of the Constitution to review such decisions.
