Nawaz Sharif's medical reports being reviewed, CJP says
102
The Supreme Court on Tuesday took up Nawaz Sharif's petition against an Islamabad High Court (IHC) order rejecting his plea for bail on medical grounds in the Al-Azizia corruption reference.
The former premier's appeal before the Supreme Court seeks Sharif's release on bail after suspending the execution of the Dec 24, 2018, sentence of seven years' imprisonment awarded by the accountability court in the Al-Azizia reference.
The appeal contends that the IHC's Feb 25, 2019, order is in violation of his fundamental right to life as guaranteed by Article 9 of the Constitution, adding that the Pakistan Prison Rules 1978 were neither relevant to nor invoked by him for the suspension of his sentence on medical grounds.
The IHC in its order had held that none of Sharif's medical reports suggested that his continued incarceration would be detrimental to his life in any way, adding that he had been hospitalised time and again since Jan 2019 whenever he had made complaints about his indisposition.
Nawaz Sharif's counsel, Khawaja Haris, who had moved The SC for early hearing of the application, presented his arguments before a three-judge bench led by Chief Justice of Pakistan Asif Khosa today.
Haris contended that his client had already filed a petition in the IHC against the judgement given by an accountability court and shared details and findings of medical boards constituted by the government that had examined Sharif.
The chief justice, while citing Sharif's medical reports, observed that the former premier was suffering from a kidney stone, hepatitis, diabetes, heart problems and high blood pressure.
Justice Khosa said that the reports are being reviewed to ascertain how long the former premier had been suffering from the ailments. He pointed out that despite the ailments, Sharif had been participating in elections, rallies and conventions during the 2018 campaign, in addition to his numerous court appearances.
The SC issued notices to NAB and adjourned the hearing till March 26.
No restrictions on meeting Nawaz, says minister
Punjab Minister for Information Samsam Bukhari on Tuesday denied the statement of Maryam Nawaz stating that the Sharif family had been barred from meeting Nawaz Sharif in jail.
"There is no restriction imposed by the government," he said, adding that Maryam and other family members can meet former premier whenever they want.
Earlier on Monday, Maryam had accused the government of not allowing her and the physician of her father former prime minister Nawaz to see him for the last five days.
“I am still waiting for the permission to meet Nawaz Sharif. He is unwell and it has been five days that I have no access to him. Not even his personal physician has been allowed to see him."
Shahbaz Sharif today took to Twitter to share that he has been barred from taking care of Nawaz despite repeated pleas.
"Family members and I used to meet Nawaz Sharif two, three times in a week to know about his health but now we have been limited to Thursday. Depriving the mother, sister, brother and daughter from their due right is blatant oppression," he tweeted.

This man just can’t spend his sentence in jail. He just want to runaway no matter on what grounds. This three times prime minister should be shown prisoners in Lahore jails as to how they spent their days. Those common prisoners do not even have proper food, accommodation, hygiene.they are dying and they don’t even have first aide let alone special treament for their life threatening diseases.

Reject NS's appeal ( based on Doctor's reports), as there is nothing seriously wrong with him, he is suffering from minor alignments that are normally associated with old age. Don't let him get away, set an example for all citizens - otherwise, people will lose trust on courts. (Gharib Awam ki Awaz).

He has been allready granted exceptional facilities which no ordinary mortel enjoys in Pakistan. The number of his ailments grow by the hour. He had the same when he underwent CABG in UK and yet he was shown walking about in Hyde park after a few days. He was a lion then but now he appears to be a sheep bleeting all the time.

Such a sick man as his lawyers are making the court/world believe, how can such an acutely sick man bear burdens of responsibility of anything let alone State, politics and even travel by air and door to door on road and vociferously shout at and down everybody. If he had been doing all that, then why all of a sudden he has fallen so sick soon after the court's verdict of jail sentence? Why do they use only medical grounds to justify his release? In fact, bigger the office-holder adjudged criminal by a court of law, proportionally more sever should be his/her punishment. Otherwise, if there is any spirit of justice in the system, at least provide all such incarcerated and jailed individuals also have the same privileges. Born or otherwise riches or not, should law and justice not have the same color and consequence(s) for all 'criminals'? Why allow so much of courts precious time for one or a few individuals only b/c they are somehow 'rich' and so can cut the queue even in Courts?

Why is Nawaz Sharif creating such a fuss over his medical treatment? If he is sick he can easily be treated in Pakistan. Why does he want to spend (waste) foreign exchange in expensive London hospitals? That is to get out of prison and escape to London. Can he tell the nation why did his relative former Finance Minister Ishaq Dar go to London for medical treatment and refuses to return? That is because he is facing court charges for corruption. Nawaz Sharif must "not" be allowed to escape his prison sentence. People demand accountability of all. No politician can be above the law.

If still anybody wish to release Nawaz Sharif, a new law “Compassionate Release Law” has to be passed in parliament, but that law too is only applicable on extreme extraordinary hardship cases, such law already passed in US Louisiana State,but still it’s not applicable in instant case, he’s quite well roaming about, issueing statements, and availing hot spicy homemade foods.

I am sure if he was still PM, PMLN would have presented him as a fit young man and none of the medical issues would have been a problem. All of Nawaz health issues are chronic and need symptoms management only which can easily be done in jail which includes control of blood pressure and management of high blood sugars. If family is concerned about recurrent angina then angina treatment can be optimised and if needed angiography can be done in a hospital of his choice in Pakistan. He can opt for Sharif Medical city or Ittefaq hospital which are run by his family and have cardiac departments and specialists. Otherwise he can choose a government or military hospital. If these hospitals are good enough for an ordinary soul then it should be good enough for him. He does not need to go back to UK to see his surgeon who operated on him last time as it is very unlikely that he will need another surgical procedure.

The best person to treat him is his personal physician who would be aware of his medical history. Does this doctor have access to him? The family members say that he does not.

Why VIP treatment for a criminal! Why 3 X PM is reluctant to receive treatment in his own country! He should receive treatment in the country! He should not be allowed to flea in legal disguise to London. It would set a bad precedence for other criminals!

If Supreme Court sets a precedent for releasing a prisoner on medical ground. 5000 prisoners would be entitled to get similar relief!

It is a shame; that PTI,s Government is supporting the same rotten justice system which it fought against.
There is no doubt in my mind (at least) that PTI is another Party like PPP and PML,.
