Pakistan's government will challenge the Supreme Court's order to move jailed former prime minister Imran Khan to hospital for medical checks, the law minister said late on Tuesday.

The ruling "does not fall within the four corners of the law", law minister Azam Nazeer Tarar said in a video statement shared on X by state broadcaster Radio Pakistan, and the government was requesting that Khan's medical tests be conducted at a government hospital.
