Imran Khan meeting case scheduled for hearing in Supreme Court

The Supreme Court of Pakistan has scheduled the hearing of petitions related to meetings with former Prime Minister Imran Khan, the founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).

The Supreme Court of Pakistan has scheduled the hearing of petitions related to meetings with former Prime Minister Imran Khan, the founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). The case will be heard on July 20, 2026, by a three-member bench headed by Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar.

The petitions have been filed by Mashal Yousafzai and Uzma Khan, who have requested permission to meet Imran Khan. The applications concern access to the PTI founder while he remains incarcerated at Adiala Jail.

During the previous hearing, the Supreme Court directed the Superintendent of Adiala Jail and the Advocate General Islamabad to submit their responses regarding the matter. Those replies are expected to be considered during the upcoming proceedings.

The case focuses on the petitioners’ requests for meetings with Imran Khan and the legal and administrative issues surrounding access to the former prime minister. The court’s forthcoming hearing is expected to review the responses submitted by the relevant authorities before deciding the next course of action.

A three-member bench led by Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar will oversee the proceedings. The hearing forms part of the Supreme Court’s ongoing consideration of matters relating to prison access and the implementation of legal procedures concerning individuals in custody.

The outcome of the hearing could provide further clarity on the petitioners’ requests and the responsibilities of prison authorities in facilitating meetings under applicable laws and regulations. However, no decision has yet been issued, and the matter remains pending before the apex court.

The hearing on July 20 will determine the next legal steps after the court reviews the responses from the Superintendent of Adiala Jail and the Advocate General Islamabad. Further directions, if any, will be issued by the bench following arguments from all parties involved.
