Q1: Dear sir, after O-Levels and Intermediate I am now thinking to do LLB. Few UK-based institutions are offering three-year LLB programme but I am confused as most of the institutions in Pakistan.

MUMBAI: Offering a ray of hope to Mumbai couple Oniba and Sharique Qureshi who have been sentenced to a 10-year jail term in Qatar and fined over Rs1 crore, the highest court there recently accepted their appeal and withheld the sentence. The court also found the appeal court’s verdict defective and called for a review of the case under a new bench in the appeal court.
The couple was arrested at Hamad International Airport in July 2019 after Qatari authorities recovered 4.1 kg hashish from their bag. Unknown to them, Sharique’s paternal aunt, Tabassum Qureshi, had used them to transport the drugs. Oniba and Sharique, both 30 years old, were ‘forced’ to go on their second honeymoon by Tabassum who sponsored the trip. “Tabassum gave a packet saying it contained tobacco for a friend in Qatar. They took it in good faith and ended up in the worst nightmare of their lives,” said Oniba’s mother, Parveen
