“You may go and meet the PTI founder,” stated Chief Justice Sarfraz Dogar, as he authorized a meeting between former Prime Minister Imran Khan and his lawyer, Salman Safdar. This meeting is set to take place at Adiala Jail in Islamabad on April 8, 2026, at 2 PM.

Imran Khan has been incarcerated since August 2023, facing a multitude of legal challenges that include serious charges ranging from corruption to terrorism. The Islamabad High Court has directed jail authorities to facilitate this crucial meeting, which is expected to address Khan’s ongoing health issues and legal strategy.

Chief Justice Dogar further remarked, “Go to jail and meet your client; we can fix the appeal schedule thereafter.” This indicates a willingness from the court to expedite the appeals process following the meeting.

Salman Safdar, appointed as a ‘friend of the court’, has been monitoring Khan’s health, which has reportedly deteriorated significantly. Khan has lost approximately 85% of vision in his right eye due to a serious eye condition, raising concerns about his well-being during his time in custody.

The court’s decision to allow this meeting comes in the wake of Khan’s ongoing legal troubles, which began after he was ousted from power through a no-confidence motion in April 2022. His political party, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), has been vocal about his treatment and the implications of his imprisonment.

As the meeting approaches, the court has indicated that it could schedule appeals for two days each week, allowing Khan and his legal team to prepare adequately. “We can schedule the appeals for two days every week, so you may meet your client first,” Chief Justice Dogar noted.

Details remain unconfirmed regarding the specific topics that will be discussed during the meeting, but it is expected to play a pivotal role in Khan’s legal strategy moving forward.

With multiple cases pending, including a notable case involving 190 million pounds, the outcome of this meeting could significantly impact Khan’s future and the political landscape in Pakistan.

As developments unfold, the legal community and Khan’s supporters will be closely monitoring the situation, awaiting further announcements from the Islamabad High Court and Khan’s legal representatives.
