ISLAMABAD:The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Monday directed the Superintendent of Adiala Jail to decide within two days the application filed by Bushra Bibi’s daughter seeking family meetings and access for her mother’s personal physician.
Justice Arbab Muhammad Tahir also summoned the Superintendent of Adiala Jail to appear personally before the court on May 6.
The court issued these directives during the hearing of a petition filed by Mubashra, the daughter of Bushra Bibi. Advocate Salman Akram Raja appeared on behalf of the petitioner.
During the proceedings, the court inquired whether the petitioner had submitted an application to the jail authorities. Advocate Raja presented a copy of the application, stating that it had been submitted both via courier and in person at the jail.
Justice Tahir directed the State counsel to decide on the petitioner’s application before the next date of hearing.
Advocate Salman Akram Raja informed the court that Bushra Bibi had undergone surgery on the night of April 16-17. The judge remarked, “We know — everything is also available on social media. We are sending your application to the jail authorities so that they may decide upon it.”
The court subsequently adjourned further hearing of the case until May 6.
