Justice Shahid Waheed, presiding over a three-judge bench, issued the directive to prioritize the prisoner's physical well-being. According to the court order, Khan must be moved to Shifa International Hospital in Islamabad within 48 hours to undergo a comprehensive evaluation by a specialized medical panel. The decision follows persistent advocacy from his family and the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, who have long raised alarms regarding his conditions of detention. A spokesperson for Khan confirmed the timeline for the transfer, while PTI leadership is now pressing for strict and immediate compliance with the judicial mandate.
