Dr. Uzma Khan, sister of PTI founder Imran Khan, has filed a petition for contempt against officials who allegedly violated the Supreme Court's order on August 18 to transfer Imran to a private hospital for medical examination. The petition, submitted by Advocate Uzair Karamat Bhandari, demands the court to depute an officer or appoint a local commission to ensure Imran's immediate transfer to Shifa International Hospital.
The respondents named in the petition include Islamabad Chief Commissioner, Interior Secretary, Punjab Inspector General of Prisons, Adiala Jail Superintendent, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Law Minister, and Information Minister. The petition alleges that the respondents are responsible for "wilful, deliberate and contumacious disobedience and violation" of the court order, and urges the court to initiate contempt proceedings against them.
The petition argues that the court order was clear, unambiguous, and fully implementable, with no need for interpretation or clarification. It asserts that the respondents, as officials responsible for enforcing the order, have a legal obligation to comply with it "in letter and spirit."
