General Advocate Punjab Khalid Ishaq provided the court with security details.

“There are seven cells in the jail reserved for him; the PTI founder is being kept in one cell, and six other cells surrounding it have also been allocated for him,” Attorney General Punjab said the court.

The advocate general went on, “Adiala Jail used to have one security man for every ten prisoners, but 14 security personnel have been deployed for the PTI founder.”

A government lawyer claimed, “The PTI founder’s meals come from a special kitchen, and nothing cook for any other person in this kitchen.”

“Based on what they have told the court, we are satisfied,” the petitioner’s attorney stated. In addition, he begged to withdraw the petition.

The court postponed the case’s next hearing until April 16.

By changing the rules governing passports, the government made the application procedure easier and eliminated the need for address-based issuance.

According to the recently released memoranda, the requirement that applicants apply for a passport exclusively from the address listed on their National Identity Card has been lifted, allowing individuals to apply from any place in Pakistan.

It is anticipated that this modification will significantly alleviate the delays and complexities that nationals previously experienced as a result of jurisdictional limits.

Nationally, regional passport offices have been informed of the revised regulations. With the new regulation, citizens will have more freedom and accessibility as they are no longer limited to applying within certain parameters.

According to the Director General of Passports, the adjustment was proposed in order to alleviate the challenges that the public was facing. “The citizens will now be eligible to apply for a passport from any city in Pakistan, streamlining the process and improving accessibility across the board” , said the top government official.
