PML-N Vice President Maryam in her petition had requested the court to order authorities to allow her to visit her father along with Dr Adnan Khan twice a week to ensure the incarcerated premier’s appropriate medical treatment. However, the LHC judge Mamoon Rashid Sheikh on Friday directed the PML-N leader’ lawyer to submit an amended petition making Dr Adnan Khan a petitioner along with Maryam Nawaz. Maryam had nominated as respondents Punjab government through its chief secretary, additional chief secretary (home), Punjab inspector general of prisons and Kot Lakhpath jail’s superintendent. The PML-N leader contended that since the incarceration of Nawaz Sharif in December 2018, the petitioner and Dr Adnan Khan have been regularly visiting him as per schedule given by respondents. She contended that in view of his serious ailments, Nawaz Sharif requires frequent contact with his physician who is available in Lahore, so that his medicine may be adjusted as per the requirements.
