Imran Khan hospital transfer: Supreme Court rejects early contempt hearing
The Supreme Court of Pakistan has rejected a request for an expedited hearing regarding a contempt of court petition filed by Uzma Khan. The petition concerns the alleged failure to implement a court order from August 18, which directed the transfer of former Prime Minister Imran Khan to Shifa International Hospital for medical treatment.
Uzma Khan argued that the delay in transfer is detrimental to Imran Khan's health while in custody. However, the court has scheduled the contempt petition to be heard alongside the central case on September 16.
A three-member bench, led by Justice Shahid Wahid and including Justices Naeem Afghan and Ishtiaq Ibrahim, is expected to preside over the proceedings.
