The Supreme Court has rejected a request for an early hearing of a contempt petition filed by Uzma Khan, sister of Imran Khan, over the implementation of a previous court order. The petition concerns the transfer of Imran Khan to a private hospital.
The court has scheduled the contempt petition for hearing on September 16, along with pending cases related to Imran Khan's health and family meetings. The same three-judge bench, consisting of Justice Shahid Waheed, Justice Naeem Akhtar Afghan, and Justice Ishtiaq Ibrahim, will hear these cases.
According to the Supreme Court's registrar office, the fixation policy requires cases to be heard turn-wise, and 94 other criminal original petitions in the same category are pending before the court. Uzma Khan had filed the contempt petition against government functionaries for allegedly violating the August 18 order to transfer Imran Khan to a private hospital.
