RAWALPINDI: Judge Amjad Ali Shah of Special Court has issued contempt of court notices to the Rawalpindi CPO, SSP operations, and SHO New Town Police Station for failing to allow Imran Khan to meet his lawyers despite court orders.
The court has directed the three police officers to submit their replies on Tuesday (today).The court had earlier directed the New Town police to facilitate the meeting between the former chairman and his legal team, as requested by his lawyers.
However, despite obtaining the necessary court orders, the lawyers were not allowed to meet their client.The lawyers, including Muhammad Faisal Malik, Ghulam Hasnain Murtaza Sumbal, and Raja Mateen, filed a petition stating that they needed to consult with the former chairman to challenge the court’s order granting physical remand in Case No. 2831 of New Town Police Station. Additionally, in case No. 708 of RA Police Station (GHQ attack case), they required further consultations.
The court had disposed of the application by directing the jail superintendent to facilitate the lawyers’ meeting with the investigating officer, Rashid Kiani, inside the jail. Despite these directives, the lawyers were denied access to their client, prompting the court to take action against the police officials involved.
