Lahore:
PML-N leader Afnanullah Khan says that there are many examples in the past in which decisions have been reserved and have been announced after a long time. For example, the decision in the Lahore Metro case was announced a year after it was reserved.
Speaking on Express News' State Craft program, he said that the delay is obviously an important case, and the judge has to take his time. Today, the judge was ready to pronounce the verdict. Imran Khan did not go to the courtroom and Bushra Bibi did not come there either.
Tehreek-e-Insaf leader Aun Abbas Bappi said that today is not the first time the decision has been postponed, it is the third time. Didn't Khan Sahib and Bushra Apa come the last two times? When the judge came at 8:30 this morning, he had decided to announce the decision at 11:00. The whole world knew that at 11:00, he left at 10:30 saying that Khan Sahib and Bushra Bibi did not come.
Brother, you are in Adiala Jail. Khan Sahib is also in Adiala Jail. If the accused was supposed to appear at 11 am, you would have waited.
Senior lawyer Aitzaz Ahsan said that I don't know whether there is any mystery behind the verdict or not. In our country, the courts keep repeating dates, and the courts do not deliver verdicts twenty-six times.
This is such a high-profile case that the judge cannot be relaxed as usual. Let me postpone it today too. I am on leave today. Today they say that the lawyers have not arrived. It has been said on TV that the verdict will be announced at 11 am on Monday. I have heard that the judge arrived at 8 or 8:30 am.
