  "summary": "The Lahore High Court has directed the Punjab Home Department to submit detailed reports regarding petitions that challenge the extended detention of PTI founder Imran Khan’s sisters. Justice Abher Gul Khan issued these directives during a hearing involving pleas filed by Sakeena, the daughter of Noreen Niazi, and Shahrez Khan, the son of Aleema Khan.\n\nAccording to Dawn, the legal challenges involve the detention of Aleema, Noreen, and Uzma Khan under the Punjab Maintenance of Public Order Ordinance, 1960. The women were detained in September as the PTI prepared for a protest march to Islamabad. Dawn reports that Aleema was detained on September 20 for 30 days, while Noreen and Uzma were detained the following day for the same period. After the initial 30-day terms expired, the Punjab government informed the court that their detentions had been extended for an additional 30 days.\n\nThe petitions also seek medical treatment for Noreen Niazi. During the hearing, petitioner’s counsel Rana Mudassar Umar argued that the extensions of the detentions for Aleema, Noreen, and Uzma were unlawful.",
