IHC urged to consolidate Imran Khan's prison rights cases

The superintendent of Adiala Jail has asked the Islamabad High Court to combine all petitions related to former Prime Minister Imran Khan's prison rights. This request aims to address inconsistencies in previous court rulings regarding his visitation rights. Khan has been in custody since August 2023, and multiple petitions have been filed by his party, seeking to allow family and party visits. The jail superintendent noted that the current legal situation creates confusion and strains the already overcrowded facility, which houses over 8,000 inmates. The superintendent also requested that all proceedings related to Khan be paused until the main petition is resolved. This is intended to prevent further complications for the jail administration in managing prison affairs.
