  "summary": "The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has resubmitted a contempt of court petition to the Supreme Court (SC) against the alleged violation of its August 18 order regarding Imran Khan's transfer to a private hospital. According to PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan, the SC registrar's office had returned the plea, citing objections including the absence of a list of charges against the respondents. The PTI has addressed these objections and resubmitted the petition.\n\nThe contempt petition concerns Imran Khan's transfer to the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) instead of Shifa International Hospital for a medical examination. The SC had ordered Imran's transfer to Shifa International Hospital, but authorities transferred him to PIMS, citing security concerns. This is the second time the PTI's contempt petition has been returned by the registrar office with objections.\n\nThe development comes after PTI lawmakers disrupted Senate proceedings, protesting the chair's decision to bar them from moving a resolution against the alleged violation of the SC order concerning Imran Khan's treatment. The resolution was not allowed to be moved as the matter is currently sub judice before the SC.",
