Three-member bench headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Yahya Afridi heard the appeal regarding Imran Khan’s remand in the May 9 cases.

During the hearing, Imran Khan’s counsel Salman Safdar and Special Prosecutor Zulfiqar Naqvi appeared before the court.

During the proceedings, Special Prosecutor Zulfiqar Naqvi stated that a polygraph and voice-matching test of Imran Khan is still pending. He said physical remand is required only for these two tests, but the PTI founder has not cooperated.

On the other hand, Imran Khan’s lawyer Salman Safdar argued that his client is facing over 300 cases and requested the Supreme Court to issue special instructions to allow a meeting with him for legal guidance.

Chief Justice remarked, “If you want to meet Imran Khan, just go ahead. We will not issue any written order. You can meet him without a court directive.”

The court later adjourned the hearing until April 23.
