IHC orders new medical board for Imran Khan health review

The Islamabad High Court has rejected a plea seeking the immediate transfer of PTI founder Imran Khan to Shifa Hospital, but ordered the formation of a new medical board to review his health condition. The decision keeps the matter within an official medical and administrative process rather than granting direct judicial relief.

According to ARY News, the court directed that a fresh board be constituted to examine his medical status and submit recommendations. The order suggests the court considered a new evaluation necessary before any further decision on treatment arrangements could be taken.

The case has political and legal importance because Khan remains a central opposition figure, and questions surrounding his health continue to attract national attention. The ruling may also shape how prison-health and transfer requests are handled in similar high-profile cases.

While declining immediate hospital transfer, the court has left open the possibility of future action depending on the findings of the newly constituted board.
