ISLAMABAD: Uzma Khan, sister of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan, has filed another application in the Supreme Court seeking an early hearing of her contempt of court petition regarding his hospital transfer.
In her application, Uzma Khan claimed that Imran Khan’s health was deteriorating in jail and that he was taken to the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) contrary to the Supreme Court’s order. She requested that he be shifted to Shifa International Hospital for medical examination and treatment.
Uzma Khan maintained that the Supreme Court’s August 18 order had not been implemented in its true spirit and urged the court to ensure immediate and complete compliance with its directives.
She argued that continued non-compliance with judicial orders amounted to a violation of law, adding that the case fixation policy did not prevent an urgent hearing of a contempt petition.
The application stated that an earlier request for an urgent hearing had been rejected on August 25, but it was unclear whether the request had been rejected by the Chief Justice.
Uzma Khan has requested the Supreme Court to fix the contempt petition for immediate hearing.
