A district and sessions court in Islamabad on Monday declared that the illegal marriage case involving former premier Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi is admissible for hearing.
The petitioner, Bushra's former husband Khawar Maneka, appeared before the court.
Maneka's counsel maintained that his client was told about adultery. Civil Judge Qudratullah said Maneka's statement did not mention any such act.
The judge added that two witnesses were required along with the complainant in such cases and further asked if there was any medical evidence in this regard.
The counsel replied that two witnesses were present if Maneka was included and that there was no need for a medical report. The judge, however, said that Maneka could not be the complainant as well as the witness in the case.
After Maneka's lawyer concluded his arguments, the judge declared the case admissible for hearing and issued notices to the respondents.
The court summoned both Imran and Bushra on December 14.
