During the hearing, Justice Thaman Rifat Imtiaz remarked that there was no violation of the court order given in this case, the 2-member bench of the High Court had given the direction to make SOPs, if there has been a violation, then a contempt of court application has been made.

Where is Imran Khan now
Islamabad High Court Takes Notice of Imran Khan’s Treatment in Adiala Jail
In a recent development, the Islamabad High Court has issued a notice to the Interior Secretary and the Superintendent of Adiala Jail for not allowing lawyers to meet former Prime Minister Imran Khan while he is in custody. This move comes as a part of a contempt of court petition against Imran Khan, but it raises more questions about the treatment of the former Prime Minister in jail.
According to the available information, Islamabad High Court Justice Thaman Rifat Imtiaz heard the petition and took notice of the issue. However, it seems that there is ongoing scrutiny of the evidence related to the cipher case involving Imran Khan. The court questions the validity of the evidence against Imran Khan, casting doubt on his conviction [[1]].
The issue of Imran Khan’s custody and the cipher case has been ongoing for some time now. In another case, the Islamabad High Court’s Justice Babar Sattar has been dealing with an objection case (8497-2024) filed by Bushra Imran Khan, which may be related to the cipher case [[2]]. Furthermore, on October 27, 2023, the Honourable Chief Justice Aamer Farooq heard a criminal miscellaneous case (1354-2023) involving Imran Ahmad Khan Niazi, who is presumably the same person [[3]]. However, without more specific details about these cases, it’s hard to establish a direct connection.
The context of these separate cases is essential to understanding the present situation, as they might have implications for Imran Khan’s treatment in jail and the validity of his conviction. It is alarming to note that the court had to intervene to ensure that Imran Khan’s lawyers are allowed to meet him in jail. This raises questions about the treatment of political prisoners and the fairness of the proceedings against them.
the Islamabad High Court’s move to ensure that Imran Khan is allowed to meet his lawyers is a crucial one. However, it’s also essential to address the broader implications of these cases and ensure that the former Prime Minister is afforded a fair trial. As more information becomes available, it will be interesting to see how these cases unfold and the eventual outcome for Imran Khan.
