Uzma moves Supreme Court for an early hearing of Imran Khan’s medical transfer plea

Imran Khan’s sister, Uzma Khan, has approached the Supreme Court seeking an early hearing of the case concerning his transfer from Adiala Jail to Shifa International Hospital for medical treatment.

In an application filed on Tuesday, Uzma requested the court to schedule the case for next week and appoint one of its officers or a local commission to supervise Imran’s transfer for a medical examination.

She cited media reports claiming that the PTI founder’s blood pressure had recently risen to 192, expressing serious concerns about his health and access to proper medical care.

The application also maintained that delays in hearing the matter were affecting Imran’s fundamental rights, including access to healthcare and family members.

Uzma had previously filed a contempt petition against the prime minister and other government authorities, alleging failure to implement the Supreme Court’s August 18 order regarding Imran’s medical examination.

Meanwhile, the Federal Constitutional Court had earlier summoned the case record from the Supreme Court, while the Attorney General had sought three weeks to assist the apex court in the matter.
