ISLAMABAD: The Sup­reme Court will begin hearing on Thursday a set of petitions concerning acc­ess to PTI founder Imran Khan by his legal team, personal physicians and family members while he remains incarcerated at Adiala jail.

A three-judge bench, headed by Justice Muh­ammad Ali Mazhar, and comprising Justice Mus­arrat Hilali and Justice Shahid Bilal Hassan, will take up petitions filed by PTI Secretary General Salman Akram Raja and Dr Uzma Khan, the former prime minister’s sister.

Raja has challenged the Oct 23, 2025 Islamabad High Court (IHC) decision dismissing his contempt petition seeking enforcement of court directions regarding meetings between Imran and his lawyers at Adiala jail.

The bench will also hear Dr Uzma’s appeal against an IHC ruling that declined requests to shift Imran to Shifa International Hospital, allow access to his personal physicians, family members and counsel, and provide medical information to relatives.
