ISLAMABAD: Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Yahya Afridi on Wednesday assured the PTI leadership that its cases concerning access to a personal physician, family members and counsel representing the party’s founder and former premier, Imran Khan, would be fixed soon after the upcoming Eidul Azha.
The assurance was given by the CJP during a meeting with PTI General Secretary Salman Akram Raja, who was leading a brief sit-in outside the Supreme Court building soon after attending an Islamabad High Court (IHC) hearing in the £190 million corruption case against the Imran and his wife, Bushra Bibi.
Raja later told the media that the CJP had assured him that all petitions and applications relating to Imran would be scheduled for hearing after Eid falling on May 27.
The PTI general secretary said he had informed the CJP about the pending appeal before the Supreme Court since October 2025 against the IHC order regarding permission to access Imran, who was incarcerated at Rawalpindi’s Adiala jail.
