Imran Khan, the chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), requested bail in the cypher case, and the Supreme Court responded by sending notifications to the interior ministry and the federation on Wednesday. A three-judge panel made up of Justice Sardar Tariq Masood, Justice Yahya Afridi, and Justice Ayesha Malik heard the plea. The bench first questioned when the matter arose and what the consequences would be if a guilty verdict was reached. The court was then told by Khan’s attorney, Barrister Salman Safdar, on the findings of the probe and the charges levied against the former prime minister. He continued by saying that Azam Khan, Khan’s principal secretary at the time, had also charged the PTI leader with cypher misuse. Justice Masood then asked if the co-accused’s position was decided in the case.
