Islamabad High Court's Justice Miangul Hassan Aurangzeb announced the reserved verdict. The court declared the notification issued in this regard null and void.
Last week, the court had reserved the decision on a petition filed by Bushra Bibi against her imprisonment at sub-jail Bana Gala instead of Adiala Jail.
The court had reserved ruling after hearing arguments from both sides. The jail authorities had adopted the stance before court that security fears and overcrowding had forced them to declare Bani Gala a sub-jail.
