The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Wednesday fixed the hearing of the appeals of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi against their convictions in the £190 million case for November 10.
A division bench comprising Chief Justice Sardar Muhammad Sarfraz Dogar and Justice Muhammad Asif would hear the appeals, according to the cause list issued by the IHC Registrar’s Office.
The court had sought arguments from counsel for the convicts on their appeals challenging the sentences.

At the previous hearing, the court had adjourned the proceedings without taking up the matter following a request by Imran’s counsel, Barrister Salman Safdar.
In January 2025, an Islamabad accountability court sentenced Imran to 14 years and Bushra to seven years in prison in the reference filed by the National Accountability Bureau.

The £190m case pertains to allegations linked to the Al-Qadir Trust, a welfare organisation established in 2018. The trust, which runs a university outside Islamabad, is accused of being used as a front to receive land worth millions of dollars from a real estate tycoon.
According to the government, the donations were made in exchange for the former premier’s administration using repatriated funds from the United Kingdom to pay fines on behalf of the businessman instead of depositing the amount into the national exchequer. Imran has denied the allegations, maintaining that neither he nor his wife derived any financial benefit from the trust or related transactions.
