An accountability court warned that Bushra Bibi's bail could be revoked due to her and her lawyers' absence during a hearing. The court expressed dissatisfaction and noted that arrest warrants might be reissued if this continues.

The prosecution claimed Bushra Bibi is misusing her bail and opposed her request for exemption from attendance on medical grounds. They highlighted the lack of proper procedures and medical documentation.

The hearing was postponed due to the absence of legal representation, preventing the cross-examination of the investigating officer. Bushra Bibi and former Prime Minister Imran Khan face charges related to alleged fraud involving fake receipts for state gifts.
