The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Thursday withdrew its stay order on former premier Imran Khan’s in-camera cipher trial after the state counsel assured that the witnesses’ statements would be recorded afresh.
The Islamabad High Court (IHC) has reserved its verdict on former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s pleas regarding the cipher case, where a diplomatic document allegedly not returned by Imran is at the center. The Special Court (Official Secrets Act) is set to restart proceedings, with the Attorney General for Pakistan confirming the re-recording of statements for 13 witnesses. Imran’s counsel, Salman Akram Raja, plans to file a petition against the Special Court judge, citing repeated mistakes. The IHC withdrew its earlier stay order, permitting the case proceedings since December 14 to commence anew.
