Court bars NAB from handling Toshakhana case against PTI founder, Bushra Bibi
Islamabad’s Accountability Court has stopped the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) from pursuing a new Toshakhana case against Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi.
The case has been transferred to the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) court. The judge ruled that the case does not fall under NAB’s jurisdiction due to the amendment in the law, as the alleged corruption value is less than Rs. 500 million.
The FIA Special Judge Central will now decide on bail pleas filed by Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi. The court ordered copies of its decision to be sent to the Chairman of NAB and the Director General of FIA.
The NAB accused Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi of unauthorized sale of valuable items from Toshakhana. They were arrested on July 13 in connection with this case, right after being acquitted in another case.
