Cipher Case: No Relief to Imran Khan, Special court adjourns hearing on bail plea till Sept 4

A Special court in Pakistan adjourned the hearing on Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan’s petition seeking bail in the Cipher case till September 4.

 

Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) Judge Abual Hasnat Zulqarnain, has been conducted the in-camera hearing on the case.

 

On 29 Aug , A special court in Islamabad ordered Attock Jail authorities — where the former premier is incarcerated — to keep the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) chairman in judicial lockup in the cipher case.

Notably, order comes hours after Islamabad High court suspended Imran Khan’s three-year sentence in the Toshakhana case.

In a letter addressed to the Attock jail superintendent, the special court ordered jail authorities to produce Imran Khan on August 30 in connection with the cipher case.

“That accused Imran Khan Niazi s/o Ikramullah Khan Niazi r/o Zaman Park, Lahore is hereby ordered for judicial remand in case FIR mentioned above, who is already detained in district jail, Attock,” ARY News quoted the letter.
