The Islamabad High Court (IHC) will hear a petition asking that former Prime Minister Imran Khan be transferred from Attock Jail to Adiala Jail after the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman was sentenced to three years incarceration in the Tosha Khana case.
IHC Chief Justice Aamer Farooq will hear the petition today. Earlier, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) had filed a petition in the IHC to transfer Imran Khan from Attock Jail to Adiala Jail to get A-class facilities.
“Keeping in view the petitioner’s social and political status, his education, and his being accustomed to a better living style, the Petitioner was entitled to A-Class facilities in terms of Rule 243 read with Rule 248 of the Pakistan Prison Rules,” the petition read.
It is also requested in the plea that personal physicians and family members be allowed to meet him.
Imran Khan’s lawyer said on Monday, after meeting his client in jail, that Imran Khan has been kept in an unhygienic and suffocating environment. However, he stressed that Khan’s morale was high.
