The Islamabad High Court (IHC) has granted permission to Imran Khan, the founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), to have private meetings with his lawyers in Adiala Jail without the presence of jail security personnel.
According to reports, Imran Khan's request was addressed by the court, which instructed the jail administration to allow his legal counsel to meet him alone, in accordance with the jail manual. The court specified that during these meetings, no jail security personnel should be present, and Imran Khan and his lawyers are permitted to carry pencils and papers.
Additionally, the Islamabad High Court approved a plea for a meeting between the former prime minister and his political advisors.
Earlier, an anti-terrorism court had permitted PTI leader Omar Ayub Khan to visit Imran Khan in Adiala Jail. However, Omar Ayub later alleged that he was prevented from meeting Imran Khan by the jail authorities.
Imran Khan, the PTI founder, is currently detained in Adiala Jail in connection with cases related to Toshakhana, Cipher, and an illegal nikah. He has been entangled in various legal battles since his removal from office in April 2022 via a no-confidence motion. Meanwhile, his party secured the largest number of seats in the National Assembly in the February 8 elections.
