‘No evidence that cipher was in Imran’s custody’
The Newspaper'May 1, 2024
Islamabad High Court (IHC) Chief Justice Aamer Farooq and Justice Miangul Hassan Aurangzeb.
• IHC asks FIA for proof that ex-PM ‘lost’ document
• Maneka seeks ‘partisan’ judge’s recusal in Iddat case
ISLAMABAD: In a fresh twist in the cipher case, the Islamabad High Court on Tuesday observed that the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has nothing on record to prove that former prime minister Imran Khan retained the confidential diplomatic cable, and that it went missing from his possession.
The observation was made by an IHC division bench comprising Chief Justice Aamer Farooq and Justice Miangul Hassan Aurangzeb, which had resumed hearing appeals filed by Mr Khan and his foreign minister at the time, Shah Mehmood Qureshi, against their conviction in the cipher case.
Earlier, defence counsel Barrister Salman Safdar had submitted a report of the foreign ministry to the IHC containing details of the cipher’s distribution.
The report revealed that almost every recipient of the cipher, including the former army chief and the chief justice, returned the confidential document after a case was registered against Imran Khan.
While special prosecutor Hamid Ali Shah was explaining the movement of cipher from the foreign ministry to the PM Office, Justice Farooq asked if there is any record available with FIA, the prosecuting agency, that proves Mr Khan retained the cipher.
“Is there any record of cipher’s movement that it was handed over to the prime minister by the principal secretary?”, asked the chief justice.
Mr Shah replied that Azam Khan, the then-principal secretary, testified before the court that the cipher was handed over to ex-PM Khan and was never returned.
“We believe it’s hearsay,” remarked the chief justice, adding that there was a possibility that the former PM had asked the secretary to return the cipher.
Mr Shah, however, said the court had ample reason to believe that the ex-PM received and perused the cipher on the basis of which he made public speeches and even sent a demarche to the US.
“But how do we know it was not returned?” the chief justice questioned.
Mr Shah replied that witnesses in the case had stated on oath that Mr Khan never returned the confidential document. He said that during a public speech and an interview with a private television channel, Mr Khan admitted that the cipher was in his possession.
Justice Aurangzeb remarked that politicians make such statement to pander to the crowd.
He asked the state’s counsel to apprise the court what happened with the First Information Report (FIR) registered over Azam Khan’s alleged abduction.
Justice Farooq directed the counsel to submit a challan or discharge report in the FIR by May 2.
Iddat case
Meanwhile, Khawar Farid Maneka, the former spouse of Bushra Bibi, sought the transfer of the appeal against conviction of Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi in Iddat case.
Mr Maneka requested sessions judge Shahrukh Arjumand to recuse himself from hearing the appeal for being biased. He also accused the judge of being sympathetic to the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf.

Former prime minister and incarcerated founding chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI), Imran Khan, has reiterated his openness to engage in dialogue with all stakeholders except for the PML-N, PPP, and MQM-P. Khan made it clear the formation of a three-member committee within his party is aimed at facilitating discussions, not striking deals.
During an informal conversation with journalists at Adiala Jail on Saturday, Khan said negotiations are typically conducted with adversaries rather than allies. He clarified that individuals seeking to evade legal consequences or exit the country are usually the ones inclined to make deals.
"We have been stating for 18 months that we are open to talks because negotiation is an integral part of politics. We are willing to engage with everyone except for the three parties mentioned, for which a dedicated committee has been established," Khan stated.
Clarifying his stance, Khan reiterated that the committee is solely authorised for negotiations and will not be involved in brokering any covert deals. He asserted that he harbours no desire to seek release from detention.
Addressing the impending legal challenges, Khan mentioned the potential initiation of another Toshakhana-related case against him, expressing his unwavering resolve despite mounting pressures.

Former prime minister Imran Khan on Wednesday refused to apologise for the May 9 riots and said he is ready to face inquiry into the sit-in that his PTI staged in 2014.
He was speaking to the media after the court proceedings in the £190 million corruption case at Adiala jail. When asked whether he would apologise for the May 9 violent protest, Imran replied in the negative, saying he was under detention at the time and was unaware of those protests.
