Imran Khan's Party Resubmits Contempt Plea Over Hospital Transfer Order Violation
Pakistan's former prime minister Imran Khan's party resubmitted a contempt petition to the Supreme Court, accusing the government of violating the court's August 18 order to transfer him to a private hospital for treatment. The petition, filed by Khan's sister Uzma, alleges that Khan was taken to a government hospital for a brief procedure before being returned to jail, contrary to the court's directive. The petition names several government officials, including Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, and seeks contempt proceedings for non-compliance. The court had initially returned the petition on technical grounds, which the PTI addressed before refiling.
