    Islamabad District and Sessions Courts Additional Sessions Judge Afzal Majoka have adjourned the hearing of appeals filed by Bushra Bibi, founder of PTI, against her sentence in the Iddat Nikkah case.

    Bushra Bibi's legal team, including Khalid Yusuf Chaudhry and Usman Riaz Gul, appeared in court. PTI lawyers submitted the written order of the Islamabad High Court on Thursday.

    Usman Riaz Gul urged the court to keep the hearing for the following day, stating, "We are still available today, listen to us today."

    Judge Afzal Majoka responded, "I downloaded and read the judgment myself last night."

    He has read the IHC verdict and must decide on the suspension of the sentence by June 27.

    "It's not possible for tomorrow; set the date for next Friday," Judge Majoka stated, adding, "If I live, I will decide in 10 days. If the other party does not appear, I will hear you and decide."

    Judge Majoka concluded by saying, "I am writing the order. There will be something bigger than the notice; look at the history."
