  "summary": "The Islamabad High Court (IHC) has suspended an expulsion order against Afghan doctor Dr Imadud Din, halting his deportation from Pakistan and allowing him to continue his postgraduate medical training. The decision was made after Dr Imadud Din's wife, Mehar Zahoor, filed a constitutional petition challenging a notification issued by the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC) seeking the repatriation of Afghan students enrolled in medical and dental institutions. The court ruled that the PMDC communication dated July 31, 2026, could not be applied retrospectively to doctors already undergoing training and that Dr Imadud Din should be permitted to complete his FCPS-II training in urology at Quaid-i-Azam Medical College and Bahawal Victoria Hospital in Bahawalpur.",
