In the cypher case, the Supreme Court granted bail to former foreign minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi and former prime minister Imran Khan on Friday. It ordered the PTI leaders to produce one million rupee surety bonds apiece. On a series of PTI petitions, the ruling was made by a three-judge panel led by Justice Sardar Tariq Masood and consisting of Justices Athar Minallah and Syed Mansoor Ali Shah. The Federal Investigation Agency’s charge sheet in the cypher case claims that Imran never returned a diplomatic document. The PTI has long maintained that the document was a threat to remove Imran from office as prime minister from the United States.
