Furthermore, the court has strictly prohibited any media interaction following these meetings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the hearing, PTI founder&#8217;s lawyer, Zaheer Abbas, argued that despite submitting requests according to standard operating procedures (SOPs), jail authorities had not facilitated the meetings. He highlighted that even the scheduled meeting on March 20 was not arranged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Justice Arbab Muhammad Tahir pointed out that in the intra-court appeal, SOPs had already been set, allowing meetings twice a week. The prison authorities, represented by lawyer Naveed Malik, stated that due to security concerns, they had facilitated two meetings on a single day instead of allowing separate meetings on different days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Malik further explained that PTI founder\u2019s status in jail had changed after he and Bushra Bibi were convicted in January. He emphasized that jail rules grant the Adiala Jail Superintendent the authority to decide on meetings. The authorities also raised concerns that meetings were being misused for political statements outside jail premises.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Islamabad High Court (IHC) has restored the right of PTI founder to meet visitors twice<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":21171,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[215],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21170","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-latest"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.4.1 -
