ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court has issued notices to the authorities concerned after removing the office’s objections to a plea seeking immediate transfer of former Prime Minister Imran Khan to Shifa International Hospital for eye treatment.
A two-member bench comprising Justice Arbab Muhammad Tahir and Justice Khadim Hussain Soomro heard the petition filed by his lawyer Latif Khosa. The request was made as part of appeals filed by the PTI founder and his wife against their conviction in the Toshakhana case. The court set the next hearing for March 10.
During the proceedings, the bench wondered why the main appeal should not be examined at the same time as the medical argument. Khosa told the court that his client’s medical condition required urgent attention and requested that the matter be heard at the earliest. He also asked the court to allow him to meet his client.
Meanwhile, the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) said that Imran Khan’s eyesight showed notable improvement after receiving his second dose of anti-VEGF intravitreal injection. According to a press release, his vision has improved considerably and is at a satisfactory level at this stage.
The medical examination was carried out at Adiala Prison by Dr Nadeem Qureshi of Al-Shifa Trust Eye Hospital and Prof Dr Arif Khan, Head of Ophthalmology Department at PIMS.
However, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) rejected the medical report, saying any examination done without the presence of his personal doctors and family members lacks transparency.
In another development, a district and sessions court in Islamabad granted pre-arrest bail to Imran Khan in six cases and his wife, Bushra Bibi, in one case.
