Supreme Court Orders Report on Imran Khan's Jail Meetings

The Supreme Court of Pakistan has directed the Adiala jail administration to submit a comprehensive report detailing the meetings between incarcerated PTI founder Imran Khan and his family members, lawyers, and friends.

The order was issued by a three-member bench led by Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar during a hearing of contempt of court petitions filed by PTI's Secretary General Salman Akram Raja and others.

The petition challenges the Islamabad High Court's (IHC) October 23, 2025, order that rejected a contempt petition seeking enforcement of visitation rights for Imran Khan.

The court emphasized the need for a detailed report on all meetings during his three-year jail term, questioning whether the IHC's assurance about media talks outside the jail was followed.Salman Akram Raja argued that the IHC's order was not unanimous and that the petition should have been filed as a revision.The court adjourned the hearing for three weeks, requesting a written response.

The petition claims the IHC failed to safeguard Imran Khan's constitutional rights under Article 199, highlighting a potential miscarriage of justice.This case underscores ongoing legal battles over visitation rights and judicial compliance in Pakistan's political landscape.
