Kapil Dev, Sunil Gavaskar, Ian Chappell & Co urge Pakistan PM to ensure Imran Khan’s medical care; ‘Basic decency…’

Kapil Dev, Sunil Gavaskar, Ian Chappell & Co urge Pakistan PM to ensure Imran Khan’s medical care; ‘Basic decency…’ Sunil Gavaskar, Kapil Dev and Greg Chappell are among the 21 former international cricket team captains who have written to Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, requesting the government to provide “humane treatment and proper medical care” to Imran Khan - former Pakistan Prime Minister and the country's first-ever World Cup-winning captain. The development came in after the authorities in Pakistan did not comply with the Supreme Court's August 18 orders to shift 73-year-old Khan from Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi to Shifa International Hospital in Islamabad. The former Pakistan PM was ordered to be kept at Shifa International Hospital until the next hearing on September 16. Instead, Khan was taken to the state-run Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) in Islamabad during the night of August 20-21 for medical examination and treatment before being returned to Adiala Jail. His sister Uzma Khan on Saturday filed a petition in the Supreme Court, accusing the government and senior officials of violating the top court's order. Uzma has sought contempt proceedings alleging wilful violation of the Supreme Court's August 18 order. The full letter reads as follow: “His Excellency Mian Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif Prime Minister of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan Prime Minister’s Office Islamabad, Pakistan Appeal by 21 Former International Cricket Captains on the Medical Treatment and Welfare of Imran Khan Dear Prime Minister, Six months ago, fourteen former international cricket captains wrote to you and the Pakistani government appealing for humane treatment and proper medical care for Imran Khan. We wrote then not as politicians, but as former colleagues and rivals who share a bond forged on the cricket field — one that transcends the borders and disputes that too often…

Delhi HC seeks NALSA's stand on PIL seeking free aid for needy to tender electronic evidence

Delhi HC seeks NALSA's stand on PIL seeking free aid for needy to tender electronic evidence - Litigation - 1 min read Delhi HC seeks NALSA's stand on PIL seeking free aid for needy to tender electronic evidence A bench of Chief Justice D K Upadhyaya and Justice Tejas Karia issued notices to the National Legal Services Authority (NALSA) and the Centre on the PIL filed by two lawyers, Zeeshan Ekhlaque and Aman Bhide. New Delhi, Delhi High Court has sought the stand of the Centre and NALSA on a PIL seeking free forensic expert assistance for the needy to enable them to present electronic evidence in court under the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam. A bench of Chief Justice D K Upadhyaya and Justice Tejas Karia issued notices to the National Legal Services Authority (NALSA) and the Centre on the PIL filed by two lawyers, Zeeshan Ekhlaque and Aman Bhide. The bench observed that prima facie, the inability of the needy to present electronic evidence in the absence of means to seek assistance of an expert impinged upon their right to access to justice. The petitioners said that under the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA), tendering electronic evidence in a case by any person required a certificate signed by an expert and those belonging to marginalised, vulnerable and poor backgrounds may lack the financial means to obtain this assistance. The petition said that in response to an RTI application, NALSA specifically stated that "there is no provision of expert assistance" to persons entitled to free legal aid for preparing certificates as per Section 63 of the BSA, 2023.
