The followers of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) are thrilled to see their leader, Imran Khan, who is now detained at Adiala Jail, during the Supreme Court hearings.
Since his apprehension in a corruption case, Khan, 71, has been incarcerated; this photo is his first look from a maximum-security facility.
The picture of Imran Khan from Adiala Jail is doing the rounds online. The former prime minister is dressed in sky blue and is seen seated in a chair.
Former Prime Minister Imran Khan is appearing via video connection from Adiala Jail during the hearing on the intra-court appeal against the Supreme Court’s ruling on the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) modifications. The session is now underway.
A five-member apex court, led by Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa, is overseeing the case. Imran Khan, a key party in the case, is represented by senior counsel Khawaja Haris, who has agreed to assist the court.
The court inquired about the status of the petition against the NAB amendments in the Islamabad High Court, which is still pending.
Special arrangements were made for Imran Khan’s video link appearance in Courtroom No. 1, with restricted entry as the court accepted Imran Khan’s appeal, which deemed the NAB amendments introduced by the PDM coalition government invalid.
Khan also expressed his intent to present his case himself, and the court granted him permission to do so via video link at the last hearing.
