Overview
- The Islamabad High Court, which ruled Tuesday, directed Adiala Jail to host a lawyer‑client meeting at 2 pm Wednesday to let Barrister Salman Safdar confer with Imran Khan.
- A two‑judge bench led by Chief Justice Sarfraz Dogar adjourned the appeals to Thursday and said it may hear them two days a week with a goal of deciding within seven days after arguments begin.
- Safdar told the court Khan had not had meaningful access to his legal team since December 20, 2025, and the judges granted his miscellaneous plea to restore in‑person consultation.
- The court earlier appointed Safdar as a friend of the court, and filings noted Khan’s significant right‑eye vision loss, prompting an order for a medical board review.
- The £190 million Al‑Qadir Trust case alleges improper handling of UK‑seized funds and a land donation tied to tycoon Malik Riaz, while Khan and Bushra Bibi deny wrongdoing and press appeals against their convictions.
