He was instructed to submit a detailed written report regarding Imran Khan\u2019s current condition in custody, the facilities available to him, and his living conditions inside the prison.<\/p>\n The Chief Justice issued clear instructions that Safdar should not be made to wait outside the jail and that no obstacles should be placed in the way of the meeting.
