Cipher Case: PTI to move IHC

ISLAMABAD: PTI senior leader Barrister Gohar Khan has announced that the party will challenge in Islamabad High Court the cipher case proceedings against former prime minister Imran Khan being conducted at Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi.

In a post uploaded on X platform early Tuesday, Gohar Khan said the case proceedings will be challenged on behalf of the PTI founder chairman.

Gohar said “Today (Monday) in Adiala Jail, I have seen the killing of justice in front of my eyes. In the fake cases against founder chairman Imran Khan, the judicial proceedings are being conducted completely contrary to the requirements of law and justice, although the judges are bound to conduct judicial proceedings in the light of the basic constitutional requirements of a fair hearing, regardless of the nature of the charges in any case.”

The PTI leader further said “It is also the responsibility of the judges to maintain the minimum standard of transparency and justice in the trial. It is a matter of providing justice to the most popular political leader of the country, so the Honorable (IHC) Chief Justice is requested to take notice and arrange for the remedy of the serious deterioration in the matter of fair hearing.”

“However, we will challenge court proceedings before the high court. It is expected from the Chief Justice Islamabad High Court that our application will be fixed for immediate hearing and will be heard with an open heart,” Gohar said and added “As for those people who are busy drawing lines in the name of the most popular leader of the nation, they should remember that Allah, the Most High, will not let them erase the honour of the nation’s most popular leader with His mercy and grace and the unprecedented support of the people of Pakistan. God willing.”
