IHC observes mechanism for visiting Imran in jail already exists

The Islamabad High Court (IHC) has affirmed that a mechanism for jail visits to incarcerated PTI founder Imran Khan is already in place, according to a recent report by Dawn - Pakistan. During a hearing on Thursday, Justice Umair Majeed Malik noted that any future requests for jail visits would be handled under this established procedure, dismissing objections raised by the Registrar’s Office.

The court also questioned the legal basis for the petitioners' claim to a right to meet Imran Khan, with the petitioners assuring that they would strictly follow the standard operating procedures. The petition, signed by former federal minister Fawad Chaudhry, ex-Sindh governor Imran Ismail, Mahmood Baqi Molvi, and Barrister Muhammad Ali Khan Saif, seeks permission to meet Imran Khan in jail.
