IHC Greenlights Open Hearing for PTI Chief’s Cipher Case Bail Plea

The Islamabad High Court (IHC) decided on Wednesday that the bail plea of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Imran Khan about the cipher case will be conducted in an open court. The decision responded to the Federal Investigation Agency’s (FIA) earlier request for an in-camera hearing, fearing potential diplomatic repercussions.

Details of the Ruling

The IHC declared that while most of the bail plea hearing is scheduled for the public on October 9, discussions involving sensitive documents will remain in-camera.

The FIA had voiced concerns about possible harm to Pakistan’s diplomatic relations should certain details emerge publicly during the open court proceedings. The FIA’s Special Prosecutor, Shah Khawar, highlighted that the Official Secrets Act mandates such trials to be confidential. He emphasized that unveiling certain details linked to other nations might strain diplomatic ties.

In contrast, Salman Safdar, representing the PTI chief, argued against the in-camera hearing proposal.

I want to make it clear,my heart is very sad,they want to punish Imran Khan in the cipher case as soon as possible,neither the bail is being heard nor the quashment the trial is being conducted at the high speed

Background of the Cipher Case

Last month, Imran Khan approached the IHC for post-arrest bail concerning the cipher case. The special court, under the Official Secrets Act, had previously denied the bail applications of Khan and PTI’s Vice Chairman, Shah Mahmood Qureshi. Both leaders are expected to remain under judicial remand until October 10.

The FIA charged both politicians under the Official Secrets Act, accusing them of misusing a classified document for political gains in August. Following this, they were arrested, and a special court was established to review the charges.
