Imran Khan Files Petition in Islamabad High Court for Medical Examination by Personal Doctors

Former Prime Minister and PTI Chairman Imran Khan, who is currently imprisoned in Adiala Jail, has filed a petition in the Islamabad High Court, seeking permission for a medical examination by his personal physicians. The petition, filed through his legal team — Barrister Salman Safdar and Khalid Yousuf Chaudhry — argues that Khan’s personal doctors are more familiar with his medical history and should be allowed access for a health evaluation.

 

The application notes that on October 15, Dr. Asim Yusuf, one of Imran Khan’s long-time personal doctors, was denied access to the imprisoned leader. The petition stresses the importance of a timely check-up by Dr. Asim Yusuf, along with Dr. Faisal Sultan and Dr. Samina Niazi, who have also been requested for the examination.

 

Health Concerns

Khan’s legal team emphasized that his personal physicians are aware of his medical history and have been providing care for years, making their access to him crucial. The petition underscores the need for immediate medical attention, given the concerns about Khan’s health while he remains in jail.

 

This is not the first time that requests have been made for Khan’s medical care during his imprisonment. His legal team has repeatedly raised concerns about his health and well-being, urging the authorities to allow his personal doctors to examine him.

 

Legal Proceedings

The petition has been submitted to the Islamabad High Court, and Khan’s legal representatives have requested the court to expedite the approval for his doctors to visit him in jail. The petition highlights the constitutional right of every prisoner to have access to proper medical care, especially when there are pre-existing health concerns.

 

As the case moves forward, it is expected that the court will take Khan’s health into consideration and issue a ruling regarding the request for medical examination.

 

Conclusion

Imran Khan’s legal team has made a strong case for allowing his personal doctors to examine him in jail, citing his medical history and the refusal of access to Dr. Asim on October 15. The court’s decision will have significant implications for the ongoing legal and health situation of the PTI founder.
