Islamabad’s chief commissioner has urgently requested the Supreme Court to expedite a review of its August 18th order mandating the transfer of imprisoned former Prime Minister Imran Khan to Shifa International Hospital. The government argues the original order infringes upon its constitutional authority and was issued with procedural defects, specifically overlooking established protocols for convict hospitalizations. Previously, the Supreme Court Registrar returned the initial review petition due to formatting and documentation issues, which have now been addressed in a refiled appeal. The government contends the order appears discriminatory and violates constitutional guarantees of equality. The original ruling stemmed from petitions raising concerns about Khan’s health and access to family visits while incarcerated. The commissioner seeks to overturn the directive and maintain Khan’s detention within the prison system, claiming the hospital transfer sets a problematic precedent.
