LEGAL

The Islamabad High Court (IHC) has ordered the production of PTI founder Imran Khan today either via video link at 2 PM or in person at 3 PM, after hearing a petition filed by PTI leader Mashal Yousafzai regarding a denied meeting with him.
Court Summons Jail Authorities
The IHC has summoned the Superintendent of Adiala Jail at 12 PM, questioning why Yousafzai was prevented from meeting Khan. The court expressed its anger at the jail authorities, warning that this amounts to contempt of court, as a previous order had permitted the meeting.
Key Court Observations
- The Superintendent of Jail must meet Imran Khan and verify whether Mashal Yousafzai is his lawyer.
- If the court is not satisfied with the Superintendent’s statement, Imran Khan must be produced at 3 PM.
- The court criticized the SP Jail, calling his conduct a “joke” and a violation of court orders.
This development comes amid ongoing legal battles involving the former prime minister, as his access to legal representation and party members remains a contentious issue.
