Khosa said this during the hearing of a petition seeking dismissal of the cipher case against Imran Khan. He argued that the Official Secrets Act did not apply in this case nor did Section 5. Imran Khan was the chief executive of the country at the time, and his oath empowered him in such a situation. He added that Section 5 did not apply in the cipher case. Qureshi has also asked for declaring the October 9 verdict of the trial court null and void and stop the court from indicting him.
