IHC seeks reply from jail authorities for not arranging Imran’s meeting with Gandapur

ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) Monday sought a reply from the Adiala Jail authorities in a contempt of court case for not arranging the PTI founder chairman Imran Khan’s meeting with the PK Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur.

Justice Arbab Muhammad Tahir took up for hearing Gandapur’s petition. Raja Zahoorul Hassan advocate, counsel for Ali Amin Gandapur, appeared in the court and took the plea that the meeting was not arranged despite the court order.

Justice Arbab remarked, “You are talking of September and October 2024. Now it is 2025. You want us to take action against the coordinators and catch them. Now we will only seek reply from the jail authorities.”

Expressing annoyance, the judge remarked, “We will call record. If any statement is proved wrong, we will impose fine on you. We had asked for a meeting through coordinator. Has meeting not taken place afterwards?”

Zahoor told the court they visited the Adiala Jail last week but the meeting did not take place. The court while seeking reply from the jail authorities adjourned the hearing of the case. The next date of hearing will be issued later.
