Cipher Case: Appeals against Imran, Shah's sentence set for hearing

Islamabad: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) Saturday fixed the appeals against the conviction of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan and Shah Mehmood Qureshi in the cipher case for hearing.

Chief Justice Aamer Farooq and Justice Miangul Hassan Aurangzeb will hold the hearing on May 21.

It is pertinent to note that the hearing could not be held on May 15 due to the cancelation of the cause list of the Chief Justice's court. It is likely that the arguments of Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Special Prosecutor Hamid Ali Shah will be completed at the next hearing.

After the prosecutor's arguments are completed, the founder PTI's lawyers will give their arguments.
