ISLAMABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 20th Nov, 2023) Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf (PTI)’s Vice Chairman Shah Mehmood Qureshi Monday filed an appeal to the Supreme Court seeking post arrest bail in cipher case.

The petitioner named federal government, interior ministry and Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) as respondents in the case.

It may be mentioned here that the trial court and IHC had already dismissed the post arrest bail petitions of the accused in cipher case registered under official secrets act.
