The petition, filed through Advocate Syed Ali Bukhari, requests that the KP chief minister be allowed to meet the PTI founder. The application argues that consultation with Imran Khan is essential for cabinet deliberations and governance matters, as he remains the guiding figure of the party. It further states that Imran Khan is currently imprisoned in Central Jail Adiala, Rawalpindi, and that prior requests for a meeting have already been submitted to the Interior Ministry and Punjab Home Department.
