The Supreme Court on Monday rejected a request seeking an immediate meeting with incarcerated party founder Imran Khan, observing that no such order could be passed without issuing prior notice to the government.
The request for a meeting with the ousted prime minister was made by PTI senior leader Latif Khosa.
Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Yahya Afridi, while addressing Khosa during the hearing, observed that the court could not pass any order regarding a meeting without first issuing notice to the government.
However, the court issued notice to the government for Tuesday on Khosa’s request for a meeting with the PTI founder.
The chief justice remarked that, at this stage, the court would first have to cross the hurdle of objections regarding the maintainability of the petition. He further reminded the petitioner that related matters were already pending before other courts.
