The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Monday approved Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan and party’s Vice-Chairman Shah Mahmood Qureshi’s pleas challenging their conviction in the cipher case. The verdict was announced by IHC Chief Justice Aamir Farooq and Justice Miangul Hassan Aurangzeb.
The cipher case pertains to allegations against Imran Khan and Shah Mahmood Qureshi regarding the use of code language in their speeches during political rallies. The court’s decision to approve their pleas challenging the conviction indicates that there were legal grounds to contest the charges and seek relief from the higher court.
This development is significant for Imran Khan and Shah Mahmood Qureshi, as it marks a step forward in their legal battle to overturn the conviction in the cipher case. It remains to be seen how this decision will impact their legal proceedings and political standing in the country.
