ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court (SC) on Thursday returned a review petition filed by the federal government against its Aug 18 order for shifting incarcerated PTI founder Imran Khan to Shifa International Hospital.
The SC registrar’s office returned the petition, citing incomplete paper books as the reason.
An informed source told that the review petition may be filed afresh with certain amendments along with an appeal against the registrar’s objections.
Reacting to the development, PTI Secretary General Salman Akram Raja said the state had “withdrawn its review petition” after the court’s objections.
“There is no excuse whatsoever for not complying with the SC order of Aug 18. Imran Khan sahib must be transferred to Shifa International Hospital forthwith. Today is the day,” he said.
