Shifa International Hospital

The Supreme Court accepted a chamber appeal by PTI founder Imran Khan challenging the Registrar's rejection of his petition for hospital transfer and family access. The court ordered the case to be fixed before a bench, nullified prior objections, and directed the inclusion of his sister's petition.

The Supreme Court will hear petitions regarding access to PTI founder Imran Khan by his legal team, physicians, and family while he is incarcerated at Adiala jail. Petitions challenge an Islamabad High Court decision dismissing requests for meetings and medical access, with arguments citing legal precedents and concerns about his well-being.

Aleema Khan, sister of PTI founder Imran Khan, rejects the government's account of his fifth hospitalization for an eye ailment, demanding independent medical treatment. She accuses Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (Pims) of questionable claims and highlights violations of court-ordered family visit rights.

Imran Khan was taken to Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences for a fifth anti-VEGF intravitreal injection to treat right central retinal vein occlusion. The hospital confirmed he was clinically stable before and after the procedure. Political tensions persist between the government and opposition over his treatment transparency.

The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly session has been postponed multiple times due to fears of criticism from a dissident group within the ruling PTI over Imran Khan's imprisonment. Dissident lawmakers, unhappy with not being included in the provincial cabinet, demand his release, medical treatment, and expedited court proceedings, threatening a permanent sit-in if their demands are not met.
