He underlined that after the meeting, the IHC would be able to proceed with the legal case and pass judgment on the matter.

Responding to a question about whether a “message” was being sent to the federal government through these meetings, Sanaullah stated that the decision of the IHC would come in the “next few days” and then a more “informed discussion” could take place on this matter.

He further elaborated that the court would decide the matter on "merit", adding that speculation linking the PTI founder’s meeting with his lawyers to discussions on the 28th Amendment would die down subsequently. “It is not true that this meeting has been allowed to take place because discussion on the 28th.

Asked whether Imran could be moved to a private hospital, Sanaullah replied that if the panel gave the medical opinion that Imran could not be treated in a government hospital and needed to be taken to another hospital, then the “court and the government can make the decision”.

He added: “If the medical facilities are available in the government hospital, then the law dictates that the convict cannot be treated in a private hospital.”The IHC has allowed Imran to meet twice a week with his family, lawyers and other associates.
