A district court issued a contempt of court notice to the superintendent of Adiala Jail for failing to produce Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, in their bail applications. The judge expressed dissatisfaction with their absence and demanded an explanation for contempt of court. The court instructed police officers to communicate with jail authorities to ensure the online presence of the former prime minister and his wife.
The defense sought the court’s understanding to mark attendance, but the judge insisted on video link attendance before any arguments. The hearing was adjourned, and upon resumption, the accused’s presence was not established, leading to the contempt notice. The case will resume on March 11.
