Separate petitions have been filed before the Islamabad High Court through Barrister Ali Zafar against Imran Khan’s sentences in the Toshakhana and cipher cases.

The Toshakhana plea made the state and the accountability bureau respondents and urged the IHC to “suspend the execution of the conviction and sentence” imposed on Imran.

The petition pertaining to the cipher case made the state and Interior Ministry Secretary Yousaf Naseem Khokhar respondents in the case. It urged the high court to set aside the conviction and sentence and acquit him of the charges.

It contended that the trial court passed the judgment in a hasty manner without providing the suspect an opportunity for a fair trial.
