Amir Farooq, the Chief Justice of Islamabad High Court (IHC), presided over the hearing regarding the PTI Chairman’s request to move him from Attock Jail to Adiala Jail. Chief Justice Farooq raised the question of why the former prime minister was being held in Attock Jail rather than being transferred to Adiala Jail. He noted that the Chairman PTI’s legal status had changed, and he was currently an undertrial, warranting his placement in Adiala Jail alongside other undertrial inmates.
