Imran Khan lawyer alleges denial of access to justice rights

ISLAMBAD: (Web Desk) – Lawyer Khalid Yousaf Chaudhry, representing former prime minister Imran Khan, has written to the superintendent of Adiala Jail, claiming that his client is being denied his fundamental right to access justice.

In the letter, Chaudhry stressed that Imran Khan’s signatures on a power of attorney are essential for filing appeals in the Supreme Court. He stated that despite visiting the jail twice, he was not granted permission to meet his client, alleging that the jail authorities are deliberately causing delays.

The lawyer further argued that such conduct reflects negligence on the part of prison officials and constitutes a violation of established jail regulations.
