A Pakistani court has accepted a plea for an early hearing for the suspension of sentences for jailed former prime minister Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, in the Al-Qadir Trust case. The duo was convicted in the 190 million pounds corruption case in January. The 72-year-old cricketer-turned-politician was sentenced to 14 years and Bibi to seven years imprisonment. But they challenged the conviction in the Islamabad High Court. A two-member panel comprising Chief Justice Sarfaraz Dogar and Justice Azam Khan heard the petition, the Dawn newspaper reported. Barrister Salman Safdar, counsel for Khan, argued that the petitions had not been scheduled despite five dates being fixed due to repeated delays from the National Accountability Bureau (NAB).
