On 4 July 2026, the Islamabad High Court asked for a report on the solitary confinement of former prime minister Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi. By the end of the month, on 31 July 2026, the Supreme Court of Pakistan had taken up separate petitions: one seeking to transfer Khan to Shifa International Hospital and allow his family and physicians access, and another requesting a prompt hearing on appeals to suspend his sentence. The apex court ordered the filing of a signed power of attorney, dismissed unrelated objections, and scheduled hearings, moving the focus from an investigative request by a lower court to active adjudication of Khan’s health and sentencing matters by the highest court.
