Awami Muslim League (AML) chief Sheikh Rashid was declared medically fit on Sunday by the doctors at Adiala Jail.
During the medical examination, the doctors also checked Mr Rashid’s fever, blood pressure, and heart rate.Â
On Saturday, a local court in Islamabad sent Mr Rashid to Adiala Jail on judicial remand for 14 days in a case related to levelling allegations against former president Asif Ali Zardari.
The AML supremo was produced before the court of Judicial Magistrate Umar Shabbir amid strict security by the capital police where the police requested the court for another five-day physical remand of Mr Rashid along with a photogrammetric test.
Earlier, the AML chief filed a petition in the Islamabad High Court (IHC) to nullify cases filed against him in Murree and Karachi, along with orders to prevent the police from taking him to Karachi until a final decision on the case is announced.

Later, the investigation officer (IO) and the inspector for the case registered against Rashid in Karachi’s Mochko police station appeared in the Islamabad court.
The IO requested the court to grant the Sindh police a transit remand of the AML chief so they could transfer him to Karachi. However, Rashid’s lawyer requested the court to grant bail in return for surety bonds as the sections registered in the case were bailable.
The court rejected the police’s request for transit remand while issuing a notice for Rashid’s bail petition to be heard on Feb 6 (Monday).
