IHC on Thursday heard a petition filed by Bushra Bibi, wife of former Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan, against the audio leak.

Recently, a conversation reportedly featuring Bibi and her counsel, Khosa, was leaked on social media. During an interaction with journalists, Khosa had confirmed the authenticity of the audio call.

In the clip, a voice suggested to be of Bibi tells her lawyer that Imran’s sisters were not happy with her for hiring him.

During a court hearing today, Justice Babar Sattar inquired about the objections to the petition, to which Khosa responded: “An objection has been raised for the petitioner to file a separate petition.”

The judge asked PEMRA to explain how private conversations between two individuals were being aired on TV channels.

“Who is recording the conversations?” he questioned.

Latif Khosa replied that everyone knew who was recording the telephone conversations.

Justice Sattar remarked that they could not rely on assumptions and asked if the conversation had been leaked to social media.

Khosa replied that the audio was broadcast by all the TV channels.

The IHC also issued notices to the FIA, PEMRA and Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) and adjourned the hearing until December 11.
