Pakistan: PTI Chairman Seeks Court Permission to Meet Imran Khan in Adiala Jail

The Chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Barrister Gohar Ali Khan,  filed a petition in court on Monday, seeking authorization to meet former Prime Minister Imran Khan at Adiala Jail.

The petition, submitted in the Islamabad High Court (IHC), appeals for access for Barrister Gohar, Omar Ayub, and Shibli Faraz to meet with the PTI founder. The plea underscores the importance of a meeting with Imran Khan and urges the court to direct the Adiala Jail administration to permit the meeting.

Previously, the Islamabad High Court granted permission for Imran Khan to hold a private meeting with his legal counsel without the presence of jail security personnel. Before this, an anti-terrorism court granted PTI leader Omar Ayub Khan permission to meet Imran Khan in Adiala Jail. However, Omar Ayub later alleged that the jail authorities prevented his visit to the incarcerated party founder.

According to reports, Imran Khan, the former prime minister, is currently detained at Adiala Jail in connection with the Toshakhana, Cypher, and illegal nikah cases. Imran Khan has been confronting numerous legal challenges since his ouster in April 2022 through a no-confidence motion. Meanwhile, his party emerged as the largest group in the National Assembly in the February 8 elections.
