Islamabad [Pakistan], January 14 (ANI): Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan’s wife, Bushra Bibi, expressed a lack of trust in the country’s legal system during a hearing in an anti-terrorism court (ATC) on Tuesday, The Express Tribune reported.
Judge Tahir Abbas Sipra, presided over the case, which involved allegations that a vehicle was driven into Rangers’ personnel. During the hearing, the judge said that all legal protocols were followed. The judge said, “It has taken some time, but legal protocols have been followed.”
In response to remarks made by the judge, Bushra Bibi, said, “That is not an issue, but we have lost faith in the courts.”
Expressing disagreement with her statement, Judge Sipra said, “It is not like that everywhere. The justice system, despite its flaws, is functioning. If it collapses, society itself will cease to exist. You have appeared before me in other hearings as well.”
Imran Khan’s wife shared a troubling experience during a previous trial. Bushra Bibi recalled an incident, where a judge’s blood pressure rose to 200, yet he continued to announce the verdict against them, The Express Tribune reported.

After hearing her arguments, the judge approved the interim bail of Bushra Bibi in the case lodged at the Ramna Police Station, extending the relief until February 7, The Express Tribune reported.
