Cipher Case Jail trial: IHC announced verdict against Imran Khan petition

The Islamabad High Court heard Chairman PTI's plea regarding the ongoing trial of the Cipher Case within Adiala Jail. Imran Khan had moved the court against the session court and government decision of holding jail trial.

In this case, IHC has ultimately decided to reject Imran Khan's petition, thereby upholding the continuation of the trial within the confines of Adiala Jail, citing security concerns as the primary reason for this decision.

IHC ruled that there are genuine security concerns to Imran Khan and it is for his betterment that trial be held inside the jail.

PTI lawyers have strongly reacted to the court decision and have further decided to challenge it in Supreme Court.
