In the petition, PTI chairman’s lawyer, Naeem Hyder Punjotha requested the court to provide ‘A’ class facilities to the former prime minister in jail.
The petitioner also asked for permission for the PTI’s legal team members to meet with the party’s chairman in prison.

Punjotha stated that the jail superintendent contacted him to get the signature of the PTI chairman at 12:00 noon.

Following his conviction of “corrupt practices” in the Toshakhana case, the police arrested former prime minister from his residence in Zaman Park, Lahore.
A district and sessions Judge Humayun Dilawar sentenced Imran Khan to three years in prison after declaring him guilty of corruption.
