ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court on the appeal of former prime minister and PTI Chairman Imran Khan has issued a stay order against his cipher case trial in Adiala Jail. A divisional bench consisting of Justice Miangul Hasan Aurangzeb and Justice Taman Rift conducted the hearing on Tuesday. The court adjourned the hearing of the case till November 16, Thursday. The court also summoned all the records based on the reasons for the jail trial while also rejecting the request of the Attorney General not to issue an injunction. The development came after the caretaker federal cabinet on Monday approved the jail trial of the former prime minister and PTI Vice Chairman Shah Mahmood Qureshi in the case. During the hearing, Justice Miangul Hasan inquired that the court wants to know what are the unusual circumstances that this trial is being conducted in this way. “You have to tell us what actually happened,” the judge asked.
