At one point, the judge asked Khan if he had his teeth checked, to which the PTI founder replied that he was told the doctor would visit the jail on Sunday.
“Now the jail administration is saying that the doctor would come next week,” he added.
The court then approved Imran Khan’s petition seeking a general physician and dentist for his medical examination.
