FCC dismisses Bushra Bibi’s plea for suspension of sentence in £190m case
Most outlets reported that the Federal Constitutional Court dismissed or rejected Bushra Bibi’s plea for the suspension of her sentence in the £190 million Al-Qadir Trust case. Several also noted the court’s reasoning, such as the late filing of the appeal or the preference for resolving the main appeal first. A few outlets, like *The Express Tribune* and *Daily Times*, specifically mentioned the 61-day delay in filing the appeal and the court’s directive on handling pending appeals. While most used similar phrasing, *ARY News* and *Associated Press of Pakistan* referred to the court as the FCCP, and *Aaj News* linked the case to the Toshakhana case instead of the Al-Qadir Trust.
