ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) has granted permission to lawyers representing former prime minister Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, to meet their clients at Adiala Jail in connection with the £190 million Al-Qadir Trust case.
The court directed jail authorities to arrange one-hour meetings between Imran Khan and his lawyer, Salman Safdar, and Bushra Bibi and her counsel, Sardar Latif Khosa, tomorrow.
The order was issued by a two-member bench headed by IHC Chief Justice Sarfraz Dogar while hearing appeals against the convictions in the Al-Qadir Trust case.
During the hearing, Safdar requested another meeting with Imran Khan, explaining that the time provided during their previous meeting was insufficient. The court approved the request but cautioned against seeking permission for additional visitors.
Bushra Bibi’s Health Concerns
During the proceedings, Safdar informed the court that Bushra Bibi had previously told him about a surgery conducted six months ago and another operation reportedly scheduled for November 15.
He requested the formation of a medical board to examine her health condition, particularly her reported eye problem, which he said had also been acknowledged by prison authorities before the Supreme Court.
Safdar said he had not yet filed a medical bail application and argued that Bushra Bibi required proper medical treatment outside prison. He added that arguments on the appeals would begin after her medical treatment was completed.
