ISLAMABAD (Web Desk) – The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman’s prison trial in the cipher case was suspended by the Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Tuesday.

The ruling was announced by a two-member bench hearing the PTI chief’s intra-court appeal against his trial at Adiala Jail. Justice Miangul Hassan Aurangzeb and Justice Saman Rafat Imtiaz sat on the bench.

The news occurred as the caretaker federal cabinet authorized the former prime minister and PTI Vice Chairman Shah Mahmood Qureshi’s prison trial in the matter on Monday. Due to security concerns, the cabinet approved the summary supplied by the Ministry of Law about the former PM and FM’s trial in Adiala Jail.

As the session began, Attorney General Mansoor Awan presented his case to the court. “The federal cabinet has approved the jail trial of the PTI chief,” stated the attorney general. He further stated that a notification will be sent to the court.

Justice Aurangzeb stated that they will investigate the notice. “All trials will be held in open court, so this trial will be an extraordinary one,” the judge said.

“If this trial is conducted in jail, it would be assumed an extraordinary one,” the judge said. According to the attorney general, this was not an unusual trial, but rather a prison trial.

The IHC then postponed the hearing on the intra-court appeal against the prison sentence until November 16.
