SC orders formation of medical team for PTI founder Imran Khan’s eye examination, phone call with sons

The Supreme Court on Thursday ordered the formation of a medical team to inspect ex-premier Imran Khan’s eye and also directed that he be allowed to speak to his children — both before February 16.

The instructions came as a two-member bench headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Yahya Afridi and including Justice Shahid Bilal Hassan resumed hearing the case regarding the PTI founder’s living conditions in Adiala jail.

A day ago, PTI counsel Advocate Salman Safdar, who was appointed amicus curiae and met Imran at Rawalpindi’s Adiala jail, submitted to the Supreme Court a seven-page report regarding Imran’s living condition in the prison.
