IHC refers Afridi’s petition seeking meeting with Imran for provincial budget consultations to chief justice

The Islamabad High Court referred a petition by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi and Finance Adviser Muzammil Aslam to meet incarcerated PTI founder Imran Khan for provincial budget consultations to the chief justice. The court noted that similar petitions regarding jail meetings with Imran Khan were already pending before a larger bench, and the petitioners argued the consultation was distinct due to its budget-related urgency.
