Imran Khan's Party Resubmits Contempt Petition Over Hospital Transfer Order
Pakistan's former prime minister Imran Khan's party resubmitted a contempt petition to the Supreme Court, alleging the government violated an August 18 order to transfer him to a private hospital for treatment. The petition, filed by Khan's sister Uzma, claims he was taken to a state-run hospital for procedures and then returned to jail, contrary to the court's directive. The Supreme Court had returned the petition on technical grounds, which the PTI addressed before refiling. The petition seeks contempt proceedings against Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and other officials.
