Imran Khan’s sister, Dr Uzma Khan, has filed a contempt petition with the Supreme Court alleging violations of its August 18th order regarding her brother's transfer to a private hospital. The petition names several high-ranking officials, including Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and key ministers, as respondents. Despite the court's directive for a medical examination at Shifa International Hospital, Imran Khan was instead taken to Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) and then returned to Adiala Jail, citing security concerns. Uzma Khan, present during the PIMS examination, condemned the government’s actions as a deliberate defiance of the court order. The petition requests the court to initiate contempt proceedings and either depute an officer or appoint a local commission to ensure compliance with the original directive. It argues the government’s conduct demonstrates “wilful, deliberate and contumacious disobedience” of the Supreme Court. The petition emphasizes the clarity and unambiguity of the original court order.
