Govt’s “proxy petitioner" prisoners in constitutional court for ruling to affect Imran Khan case

Is Pakistan’s Constitutional Court being used to influence a case already before the Supreme Court? In this exclusive MJtv interview, Matiullah Jan puts Barrister Akhtar Cheena on the spot over his appeal before the Constitutional Court, filed on behalf of an under-trial prisoner seeking medical treatment. But the bigger question is: Is this really just a prisoner’s medical-treatment petition — or could it have wider constitutional and political implications? The issue becomes even more controversial because a related constitutional question is already scheduled to be heard by a Supreme Court bench on September 16, including matters connected with appeals filed by jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi. Matiullah Jan grills Barrister Akhtar Cheena on his intentions, motives and strategy, asking whether the petition could potentially influence, overlap with, or create a parallel route around the proceedings before the Supreme Court. 🔴 Is this an ordinary prisoner’s fight for medical treatment? ⚖️ Or a proxy petition with much bigger implications? 🔥 Could the Constitutional Court decision affect Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi’s appeals? 🎙️ Watch this hard-hitting MJtv exclusive interview for the lawyer’s answers.
