Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has formally approached the Supreme Court of Pakistan with a contempt of court petition, alleging that the federal and jail authorities deliberately violated apex court orders regarding the medical examination and hospital admission of former prime minister Imran Khan.

The petition, filed through senior counsel, requests show-cause notices and the personal appearance of senior administrative officials accused of defying the court’s explicit directions. The apex court had previously directed Khan’s transfer to a dedicated medical facility for an extensive evaluation.

Instead of the designated facility, the incarcerated former premier was shifted late night to the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) and subsequently returned to Adiala Jail after a brief assessment.

Key Details & Official Response:

• PIMS Administration: PIMS authorities confirmed that an eye examination was conducted with two specialists from Shifa International Hospital present, but stated that further medical board findings remain confidential under judicial directions.

• Government Stance: Information ministry officials maintained that the former premier was examined thoroughly by a medical board, declared “medically fit,” and lawfully returned to judicial custody without security risk.

• Legal Friction: The legal team of the former premier argues that shifting him to PIMS instead of the court-stipulated facility and denying extended clinical observation constitutes direct non-compliance with the interim orders.
