Justice Sardar Ejaz Ishaq Khan heard the contempt petition for not meeting the PTI founder despite the court order. Founder PTI lawyer Faisal Fareed Chaudhry, Advocate General Ayaz Shaukat and Superintendent Adiala Jail Abdul Ghafoor Anjum appeared before the court.
In arguments, Faisal Chaudhry advocate said that a meeting was scheduled yesterday but the meeting was not held, I have been told that there was a road block in Adiala yesterday, which also affects common people, Asad Qaiser and Shibli Faraz were also sent to Adiala Jail. Stopped outside.
Advocate General Islamabad said that we have submitted a response in this contempt of court case, I have stated in my response that there are three coordinators as per the court order, we have not been given any list that these six people want to meet. .
Faisal Fareed Chaudhry Advocate said that Intizar Panjutha was the coordinator who was missing, we had given the list.
The court while talking to the Advocate General said that you are saying that the list has not been given and they are saying that the list has been given, when will you tell them to hold their meeting? This list is given to you now.
Superintendent Adiala Jail said that our doctors check up PTI founder three times a day.
The court inquired from the superintendent of Adiala Jail that why can’t you make an appointment tomorrow? Superintendent Adiala Jail said that his meeting is scheduled on Tuesday and Thursday, apart from these days we have to make security arrangements due to high profile, we always follow the court orders and Faisal Chaudhry Sahib daily. 8 hours later they are still complaining.
Advocate General Islamabad said that on September 13, this court had ordered that there would be three coordinators of the founder PTI.
The court remarked that who will meet the founder of PTI? The dispute between the jail authorities and founder PTI coordinator has come to light, Imran Khan’s family friends lawyers whom he wants to meet will submit the same list in the court, Superintendent Adiala Jail will take the list from founder PTI and send it to Advocate General Islamabad. Hopefully this will end the conflict between the jail authorities and Imran Khan’s lawyers, I will form a commission and they will meet the founder of PTI in jail.
The court also directed to send a copy of the list from Imran Khan to PTI Secretary Salman Akram Raja.

**Interview with Legal Expert on Recent Developments at Adiala Jail**
**Interviewer:** Welcome to our news segment. Today, we have Dr. Sarah Malik, a legal expert and analyst, to discuss the recent developments regarding Imran Khan and the Islamabad High Court’s directive. Thank you for joining us, Dr. Malik.
**Dr. Malik:** Thank you for having me.
**Interviewer:** Let’s dive right in. The Islamabad High Court recently directed the Superintendent of Adiala Jail to arrange a meeting between Imran Khan and party leaders. What does this indicate about the court’s stance on the situation?
**Dr. Malik:** This directive shows that the court is committed to ensuring that Imran Khan is granted his rights, especially regarding communication with his party leaders. This is significant given the political climate and the controversies surrounding his detention.
**Interviewer:** There was a mention of a scheduled meeting that did not take place due to roadblocks. How do roadblocks and logistical issues play into the legal proceedings?
**Dr. Malik:** Logistical challenges, like roadblocks, can complicate legal proceedings. However, they also raise questions about the efficiency and responsibility of the authorities managing these situations. In this case, it can be seen as a failure to comply with court orders, which can lead to further legal implications for the jail administration.
**Interviewer:** The Advocate General mentioned submitting a response to the contempt petition regarding the failure to meet the court’s orders. How might this response impact the case?
**Dr. Malik:** The response by the Advocate General is crucial. It indicates that the authorities are attempting to justify their actions, but the court will scrutinize those justifications closely. If the court finds the reasons inadequate, it could lead to serious consequences for those involved in managing the jail.
**Interviewer:** Lastly, what do you think the implications of this situation are for Imran Khan and the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party?
**Dr. Malik:** The implications are significant. For Imran Khan, it’s about maintaining his leadership role and connection with supporters while incarcerated. For PTI, ensuring that their leader has access to them is vital for morale and strategy. The broader political ramifications also depend on how the government handles the situation; it could affect public perception and voter sentiment ahead of future elections.
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Dr. Malik, for your insights. It’s a critical time for both Imran Khan and PTI as they navigate these challenges.
**Dr. Malik:** Thank you for having me. It will certainly be interesting to see how this unfolds.
