Last month, the special court set up to hear cases registered under the Official Secrets Act allowed the PTI chief to speak to his sons - Qasim and Suleman.
According to a Geo News report, Khan in the petition has sought contempt of court proceedings against the Attock Jail Superintendent for violating the court order. In the petition, Khan claimed that the jail authorities refused to allow him to have a telephone conversation with his sons saying that they were detained under the Privacy Act.
