The federal government has resubmitted a review petition against the Supreme Court's order directing the transfer of Imran Khan, founder of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), to Shifa International Hospital, Islamabad. The Chief Commissioner Islamabad submitted a Civil Miscellaneous Application (CMA) on Friday seeking a review of the Supreme Court's August 18 order.
The Supreme Court Registrar Office had previously rejected the review petition, citing incomplete booklets. However, the federal government brought Imran Khan to Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) instead of Shifa International Hospital for a medical examination. The court had ordered the transfer to Shifa within two days, with future medical reports to remain confidential.
Imran Khan's sister, Uzma Khan, and his personal physician, Dr. Faisal Sultan, attended the medical examination at PIMS. The review petition argued that the Supreme Court's order exceeded its jurisdiction and failed to follow proper procedures for transferring prisoners to hospitals. The petition also disputed the court's assumption that the prisoner's health had worsened based on a report submitted in a related case.
