Supreme Court Bans Cell Phones in Courtrooms After Ex PM Imran Khan’s Photo Leak

The Supreme Court (SC) has implemented a ban on carrying cell phones in courtrooms following the leakage of a picture of the PTI founder during a video link hearing of the NAB amendments case.

SC staff members have instructed law clerks and lawyers not to bring their cell phones into the courtroom and to leave them outside instead. Additionally, attendants in the SC courtroom are being checked by staff. Journalists were already prohibited from carrying their cell phones in the SC courtroom.

This decision comes in response to a leaked picture of PTI founder Imran Khan circulating on social media during his appearance in the SC for the NAB amendments case hearing via video link from Adiala Jail.
