Chief Justice of Pakistan Mian Saqib Nisar today expressed annoyance over Shahrukh Jatoi's transfer to hospital from the jail.

Today, the Supreme Court’s Karachi Registry heard the case of transfer of Shahrukh Jatoi, the prime accused in the murder of Shahzeb Khan, from prison to a hospital.

CJP, who took notice of Jatoi's transfer to Jinnah Hospital from jail premises earlier this week, expressed annoyance at the accused’s shifting.

“Does the law only exist for the poor?” he remarked, observing that when the apex court took notice of Jatoi’s transfer, the accused was discharged from the hospital.

Shahrukh Jatoi complained of a heart ailment but it turned out to be piles, the Chief Justice remarked.

Inspector General (IG) Prisons Nusrat Mangan read out Jatoi’s medical report to the apex court, and said Jatoi was transferred to the hospital on the recommendation of the jail’s administration.

Jatoi had previously also served most of his incarceration at the JPMC citing medical issues.
