  "account": "The Supreme Court is set to rule on September 16 whether the government has complied with its August 18 order regarding Imran Khan's medical examination, according to Rana Sanaullah Khan, the Prime Minister's adviser on political and public affairs. The court's order directed that Imran be transferred from the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) to Shifa International Hospital for treatment and weekly meetings with his family. However, the government has expressed concerns over security issues at the intended facility and opted for a government health facility instead. The PTI filed a contempt petition in the Supreme Court, alleging the government's violation of the order. The government has assured that it will implement any further directions issued by the apex court, emphasizing that it, state institutions, and courts are bound by the Constitution and law.",
  "summary": "Says if SC finds any shortcoming and directs govt to take further measures, its orders will be implemented",
