A special court in Islamabad on Tuesday approved two petitions filed by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan, granting him the right to speak with his children and undergo a medical check-up.
The decision was announced by Special Judge Central FIA, Shah Rukh Arjumand, who approved both of Khan’s requests after reviewing the petitions.
Imran’s lawyers, Usman Riaz Gill and Zaheer Abbas, appeared before the court.
During the hearing today, Advocate Gill argued that although a previous court order had called for a medical check-up, this should now be conducted by Khan’s personal doctors in the presence of prison staff.
He also requested that regular monthly check-ups be ensured.
Zaheer Abbas added that earlier medical examinations had already been carried out under the Islamabad High Court’s orders. The legal team urged the court to uphold Khan’s right to health and family contact.
After reviewing the submissions, the court ruled in Imran’s favour, granting both requests and ordering jail authorities to arrange a phone conversation between Imran and his children. The court also directed that a medical check-up be carried out by his personal doctors, with a compliance report to be submitted by 28 April.
Imran, who remains jailed amid ongoing legal challenges, has repeatedly raised concerns about restricted family contact and health issues.
