Bushra seeks 'better class' in Adiala Jail

Former prime minister Imran Khan's wife Bushra Bibi has approached the Islamabad High Court (IHC), seeking a court order directing Rawalpindi's Adiala Jail superintendent to provide her "better class" in prison under the Prison Rules 1978.

According to the petition filed on her behalf by a team of lawyers, Bushra remained the first lady from August 2018 to April 2022 and was a resident of the Prime Minister House.

"The petitioner is accustomed [of] a better living in her previous life and qualifies the prescribed criteria enshrined in Prison Rules, 1978 for acquiring the better class in the prison," it said.
