ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Wednesday issued a contempt of court notice to the Superintendent Adiala jail for not complying with the court order regarding a meeting with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan.
IHC’s Justice Saman Riffat Imtiaz heard the plea filed by Allama Nasir Abbas, secretary general of Majlis Wahdat-e-Muslimeen, against restriction on meeting with PTI founder despite the court order.
The petitioner stated that IHC had allowed him to meet with the PTI founder in Adiala jail on March 8 but the Jail Superintendent didn’t follow the court order and thus committed contempt of the court.
The petitioner requested the court to take strict action against the superintendent and order to allow meeting of PTI founder with family and counsels.
The court issued notice to the Superintendent Adiala jail on contempt of court for March 15 after hearing the arguments by the petitioner’s counsel.
