The Supreme Court, in an order issued on Imran Khan’s petition against his arrest, has allowed the former prime minister to meet up to 10 guests for as long as he wants while he is at the Islamabad Police Lines Guest House.

While terming his arrest unlawful, the top court has directed Imran to stay at the Police Lines guest house until his appearance before the Islamabad High Court tomorrow.

In the order, the court said that the people meeting the PTI chairman will be subject to a security check.
