On Wednesday, the federal government filed a petition in the Supreme Court to review and recall the court's order to transfer former Prime Minister Imran Khan to Shifa International Hospital for medical examination and treatment. The government's review petition, submitted through the Islamabad chief commissioner the day after the court's ruling, described the interim order as "discriminatory" and "in excess of jurisdiction."
The petition argued that the order "suffers from errors of law floating on the surface of the record." Additionally, the government contended that Rule 197 of the Pakistan Prison Rules, 1978, governing the manner and mode of a prisoner's transfer to the hospital, had been overlooked by the court in its decision regarding Imran Khan's hospitalization.
