Chief Justice of the Islamabad High Court (IHC) Aamer Farooq has confirmed to the defence lawyer that he would fix the hearing of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan and Vice-Chairman Shah Mahmood Qureshi’s bail pleas in the £190m NCA scandal case a day after tomorrow (May 8). A two-member bench of the IHC – comprising Chief Justice Aamer Farooq and Justice Miangul Hasan Aurangzeb – heard the appeals against the conviction of both PTI politicians in the cipher case on Monday. The former prime minister and the former foreign minister had been sentenced in the said case on January 30 earlier this year. At the outset of the hearing, defence lawyer Latif Khosa told the IHC chief justice that the hearing of bail petitions in the NCA scandal case was still pending. To this, CJ Farooq remarked that he would fix the hearing on May 8 as the previous cause list of the regular was suspended owing to his unwellness. He added that he was not in good health today but conducting today’s hearing due to the importance of the cipher case. The prosecutor of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Hamid Ali Shah also appeared in the hearing.
