ICC asked SC hearing on govt’s review petition against Imran Khan’s transfer order

The Islamabad Chief Commissioner has requested the Supreme Court to hear a review petition filed by the government against an order to transfer Imran Khan to Shifa International Hospital. The Supreme Court had previously ordered Khan's transfer on August 18, citing concerns about his health.

According to The Economic Times, Khan was initially taken to Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) instead of Shifa International Hospital, with Information Minister Attaullah Tarar blaming Khan's party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), for the change. Tarar alleged that a large presence of PTI workers outside Shifa Hospital forced the government to move Khan to PIMS.

The review petition was initially returned by the Supreme Court Registrar's Office due to objections over its contents and formatting, with the office directing that it be resubmitted within two weeks after removal of the objections.
