ISLAMABAD - Dr Uzma Khan's counsel asserted there is no concrete evidence supporting allegations that Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi interfered in the Supreme Court's 18th August order implementation. Karamat Uzair Bhandari, who filed a contempt petition against the federal government and Adiala Jail authorities, clarified that the petition was filed by Dr Uzma Khan, not PTI.
He stated that the Secretary of Interior Ministry, along with others, was responsible for order implementation. As there was no evidence of Naqvi's interference, he was not named as a respondent. The counsel emphasized that the decision to exclude Naqvi was based on legal grounds and not politics. Naqvi's name was not included in the petition due to his involvement in resolving the issue.
The petition, filed under Article 187 and 204 of the Constitution and related Supreme Court rules, demanded that the SC initiate contempt proceedings against respondents for violating the August 18 order, thereby depriving Khan and PTI founder Imran Khan of their fundamental rights. Khan requested SC intervention to ensure Khan's immediate transfer to Shifa International Hospital for medical examination.
