Fresh Review Petition Filed Against Imran Khan’s Hospital Transfer Order
ISLAMABAD: A fresh miscellaneous review petition has been filed against the Supreme Court’s decision concerning the transfer of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan to a hospital, according to sources.
The review petition was filed by the Chief Commissioner, Islamabad, and submitted to the Registrar’s Office after earlier objections were addressed. The petition challenges the court’s decision regarding the hospital transfer and seeks a review of the verdict issued on August 18.
According to the petition, certain aspects of the Supreme Court’s decision require reconsideration. It argues that relevant jail rules were not properly considered while issuing the order. The petitioners have also maintained that they were not made parties to the main case, which they say is another reason the matter should be reviewed.
The miscellaneous application requests the Supreme Court to accept the petition and allow the review proceedings. The petition specifically seeks reconsideration of the August 18 verdict related to Imran Khan’s transfer to a hospital for medical examination.
The Supreme Court had earlier ordered that Imran Khan be taken to a hospital for a medical checkup under appropriate security arrangements during the night between August 20 and 21. Following the court’s direction, arrangements were made for his medical examination.
The latest development has added another legal dimension to the ongoing matter involving Imran Khan’s health, detention and judicial proceedings. The review petition will now be considered by the relevant authorities at the Supreme Court.
The filing comes amid continued attention surrounding the former prime minister’s medical condition and arrangements for his treatment. The case remains subject to further proceedings, and any decision on the review petition will determine whether the earlier order is reconsidered.
Further developments are expected as the Supreme Court examines the objections and arguments presented in the new miscellaneous review petition.
