Overview
- Sohail Afridi asked the Islamabad High Court for an attested copy of its directive after repeated refusals by Adiala Jail to permit a meeting with the PTI founder.
- The request was filed on October 29 through Advocate General Shah Faisal to the IHC registrar.
- Afridi says the certified order is required to formally initiate contempt of court proceedings against prison officials.
- A three-member IHC bench had ordered jail authorities to allow the meeting, yet Afridi reports he has been blocked four times, including during a visit on October 23 when he held a brief sit-in outside the prison.
- Afridi says a first-phase Khyber Pakhtunkhwa cabinet of more than 10 members has been approved under Khan’s direction, with additional slots under consideration.
