  • Imran Khan's sister, Uzma Khan, has filed a contempt plea in the Supreme Court against officials allegedly violating an order to transfer the PTI founder to a private hospital.
  • The petition seeks the immediate transfer of Imran Khan to Shifa International Hospital for medical examination as per the court's August 18 order.
  • The plea also requests the court to appoint an officer or commission to ensure compliance with the transfer order.

Dr. Uzma Khan, sister of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan, has approached the Supreme Court seeking contempt proceedings against individuals accused of violating a court order. The order, issued on August 18, mandated the transfer of the incarcerated former prime minister to a private hospital in the federal capital for medical care.

The contempt plea highlights the alleged violation of the Supreme Court's directive concerning Imran Khan's medical treatment. Uzma Khan's petition urges the court to take action against those responsible for non-compliance with the August 18 order.

Furthermore, the plea requests the Supreme Court to ensure the immediate implementation of its directive. To achieve this, it asks the court to depute an officer or appoint a local commission. This appointed entity would be tasked with overseeing Imran Khan's transfer to Shifa International Hospital, ensuring his medical examination proceeds in accordance with the court's specified instructions.
