The founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Imran Khan’s lawyer Khalid Yousaf Chaudhry, wrote a letter attached with a copy of the Supreme Court’s judicial order to Adiala jail authorities, the private media outlet reported on Wednesday.
Khalid Yousaf Chaudhry wrote in a letter that all the legal requirements to shift founder PTI from Adiala jail to Shifa Hospital have been completed. He urged jail authorities to shift Khan from Adiala to Shifa Hospital in two days.
He also said that jail authorities need to implement the directions of the Supreme Court and make the judicial order a part of the official record.
Imran Khan’s lawyer further wrote that no further delay could be allowed in implementing the court order.

Earlier, the Supreme Court’s order regarding the transfer of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan to Shifa International Hospital for treatment has been challenged in the superior court.
The review petition has been filed by the Chief Commissioner, Islamabad, on Wednesday.
On Tuesday, the Supreme Court had ordered Imran Khan’s immediate transfer to Shifa International Hospital for medical treatment.
The petition argues that the court’s order ignored the prescribed procedure for transferring a prisoner to a hospital under the Pakistan Prison Rules, 1978.
According to the petition, Rule 197 of the Pakistan Prison Rules, 1978 clearly lays down the procedure for transferring a prisoner to a hospital. However, the petitioner contends that the Supreme Court’s order issued the previous day departed from these rules, amounting to a significant legal flaw on the record.
