  "summary": "The Lahore High Court has sought further arguments on the maintainability of a petition challenging the detention of Aleema Khan, sister of PTI founder Imran Khan, and her driver. According to the Dawn report, Aleema Khan was detained by authorities on Sunday under the Maintenance of Public Order Ordinance, following an order by Lahore's deputy commissioner. The order cited police reports that Aleema Khan and her driver, Ameer, were \"prejudicial to public safety and maintenance of public order\" due to their involvement in roadblocks and protests on May 9, 2023.\n\nThe detention order was issued for 30 days, with the DC's office referencing multiple cases registered against Aleema Khan and her driver. The petition, filed by Aleema Khan's son Shahraiz Khan, challenges the detention orders. During the hearing, the court asked the petitioner's counsel, Barrister Taimur Malik, whether he had first approached the relevant authority against the detention order.\n\nThe court, headed by Justice Abher Gul Khan, will hear further arguments on the petition. The Daily Times report also mentioned that the petition challenges Aleema Khan's detention and that of her driver, without providing additional details.",
