The Islamabad High Court (IHC) has requested a detailed report on the release of the photos of the jail cell housing the PTI’s incarcerated founder Imran Khan.
Justice Saman Rafat Imtiaz presided over the hearing of the petition filed by Imran Khan’s legal counsel Naeem Panjotha. Justice Saman called for arguments in the next session.
Expressing concerns about the Punjab government’s report, Justice Saman remarked that the responsibilities outside the jail fall under jurisdiction of the district police.
Additional Advocate General Punjab informed the court that Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) have been prepared according to Imran Khan’s preferences and are being implemented.
Justice Saman remarked that the court had dismissed the request earlier due to the failure to seek permission from the Superintendent of Adiala Jail and the non-compliance with the SOPs.
She highlighted that security checks, despite being challenging in banks, are carried out efficiently.
