Former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has sought the apex court's permission to place on record his medical record, test reports, and correspondence of his personal physician with the consultants as well as their opinion. Khawaja Haris on behalf of Nawaz Sharif Saturday filed an application under Order V Rule 1 (19) read with Order XXXIII Rule 6 of Supreme Court Rules, 1980 for placing on record additional documents.
He sought the apex court's permission to place on record the documents comprising his medical record, test reports, correspondence of his personal physician with the consultant and their opinion, and his affidavit. He said the review petition has been filed but so far no date of hearing has been fixed.
The former premier on April 25 had filed a review petition requesting to allow him travel abroad for medical treatment. "He be released on bail without specification of any condition as treatment recommended by the doctors unequivocally shows that the treatment as well as full recovery is not possible within six weeks," the petition also maintained. Nawaz Sharif's doctor in UK, Dr David R Lawrence's report is also attached. According to that, in 2003 he had non-ST Elevation Myocardial Infraction (NSTEMI) subsequently had bare metal stent to circumflex/OM1. In 2004, two drug eluting stents were inserted in proximal and mid LAD.
The application submitted that a special medical board, comprising Professor Tahir Shafi, Head of Nephrology, Prof Ayub Latif Khawaja, Head Department of Medicine, Prof Muhammad Rafiq Zaki, Head Department of Urology, and Dr Muhammad Tahir Saeed, Associate Professor Department of Pathology, of Sharif Medical & Dental College (SMDC), Lahore, was constituted on March 27. It recommended for detailed medical examination, investigation, evaluation and management of Nawaz Sharif.
A three-judge bench, headed by Chief Justice Asif Saeed Khan Khosa, on March 26 had granted bail to the ex-PM by suspending his sentence in Al-Azizia Mills for six weeks, which started from the date of release. The court ordered that during this period the petitioner shall not leave or be allowed to leave the country.
"The bail shall automatically stand cancelled upon expiry of six weeks period whereupon he shall surrender to custody voluntarily failing which he shall be retaken into custody," said the order. The court, however, made it clear that surrender to custody by the petitioner shall not include surrendering before a court with an application for bail.
