According to the court's cause list, Justice Khalid Ibn Aziz will hear Shah's petition challenging the Federal Investigation Agency's (FIA) money laundering inquiry against her.

Khadija Shah, daughter of former finance minister Dr Salman Shah, filed the petition on December 18, 2023, making the federal government, the FIA and other relevant authorities respondents in the case.

The FIA had initiated an investigation following a complaint regarding allegedly suspicious bank transactions.

In her petition, Shah maintained that the FIA had not received any formal complaint and had initiated the inquiry on its own. She further argued that the investigation was allegedly motivated by mala fide intentions and lacked a lawful basis.

The upcoming hearing will take up her challenge to the legality of the FIA's inquiry.
