FCC Summons Imran Khan's Hospital Transfer Case Record From SC
The Federal Constitutional Court summoned Supreme Court records regarding former Prime Minister Imran Khan's transfer to Shifa International Hospital, following appeals by three inmates seeking similar medical privileges.
Attorney General Mansoor Usman Awan stated that under Article 175E, the FCC has the authority to obtain records from any court on constitutional interpretation, highlighting the principle of equality under the law.
The Islamabad High Court dismissed petitions by the three inmates seeking medical treatment and communication rights comparable to those granted to Imran Khan, ruling there is no legal right to transfer to private hospitals.
The FCC is reviewing records from the Supreme Court and high courts on related cases to determine its jurisdiction and consider equality under Article 25 in relation to the inmates' appeals.
