An Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) in Rawalpindi has rejected former prime minister Imran Khan’s request to undergo a medical examination by his personal doctors.
After hearing arguments from both sides, the court reserved its verdict, which was later announced by ATC Judge Syed Amjad Ali Shah. The plea sought permission for Imran Khan to be examined by his personal physicians, including Dr Asim, Dr Khurram and Dr Samina.
During arguments, the defense maintained that medical examination by personal doctors is Imran Khan’s constitutional, legal and moral right, citing past precedents where former prime minister Nawaz Sharif was allowed access to personal physicians. It was also argued that jail rules require authorities to inform family members about medical matters.
