The court also ordered\u00a0authorities to ensure his eye examination is done before February 16. A division bench of the apex court, comprising Chief Justice Yahya Afridi and Justice Shahid Bilal Hassan, resumed hearing the case on Imran Khan\u2019s living conditions in Adiala jail on Thursday. The\u00a0court also directed that the former premier be allowed to speak to his children. PTI counsel Barrister Salman Safdar, the &#8220;Friend of Court&#8221;, read out a report stating that the PTI founder had expressed satisfaction over security arrangements and food facilities provided in jail. The barrister met Imran at Adiala Jail on Tuesday and submitted a seven-page report to the court regarding Imran\u2019s living condition in the prison. In his report, the counsel quoted Imran as telling him that \u201cdespite the treatment administered (including an injection), he has been left with only 15 percent vision in his right eye\u201d. Barrister Safdar said that Imran Khan told him that about \u201cthree to four months earlier, until October 2025, he had normal vision in both eyes\u201d. He then began experiencing persistent blurred and hazy vision, which he repeatedly reported to the then-jail superintendent but \u201cno action was taken by the jail authorities\u201d. Chief Justice Yahya Afridi remarked that the court would pass an appropriate order after reviewing the recommendations presented in the report. He stated that the matter would remain pending until a decision by the Islamabad High Court and that the court had also reserved its decision regarding the PTI founder\u2019s health.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dunyanews.tv\/en\/Pakistan\/934886-pti-gives-list-of-six-party-leaders-to-adiala-jail-officials-for-meeti\">PTI gives list of six party leaders to Adiala Jail officials for meeting with Imran Khan<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The chief justice emphasized that health was the most important issue and that the government\u2019s position on the matter would be sought.The attorney general told the court that providing healthcare facilities to prisoners is the state\u2019s responsibility and assured that if the inmate was dissatisfied, necessary steps would be taken. He also termed the issue of phone calls with children important and expressed confidence in the government\u2019s response. The court rejected a request to allow a family member to be present during the medical examination. It also observed that books would be provided to the PTI founder if doctors recommend reading as part of medical advice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ISLAMABAD(National times)- The Supreme Court of Pakistan has directed the formation of a medical board to examine former Prime Minister Imran Khan\u2019s eyes, following a report submitted to the court in which the PTI founder said he has only \u201c15 per cent\u201d vision remaining in his right eye.
