ISLAMABAD: The federal government told the Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Wednesday that the Ministry of Defence has strongly rejected the allegation that military officers interfere in the process of allowing those who meet the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder at the Adiala Jail.
IHC Chief Justice Aamer Farooq ordered the federal law officer to place the letter of the defence ministry on record. He was hearing PTI founder Imran Khan’s request to meet his lawyers without interference.
The court was requested to stop the alleged interference of officers of the armed forces in the process of getting permission to meet the PTI founder at the Adiala Jail. Khan’s counsel Shoaib Shaheen said that this is a case against military intervention at the Adiala Jail. The IHC chief justice asked if the report of the defence ministry had been filed. The deputy attorney general said the defence ministry had dismissed the PTI founder’s allegation as baseless.
Advocate Shaheen said a copy of the defence ministry’s letter had not been made part of the record. The court told the law officer to file the defence ministry’s reply with the court if there is no such thing, and then adjourned the hearing.
