ISLAMABAD: A new specialized court was set up in Islamabad on Monday. This court will focus on dealing with cases related to the Official Secrets Act. This move aims to ensure proper proceedings and focused attention on matters related to classified information.

Prominent figure Shah Mehmood Qureshi, who serves as the Vice Chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), was apprehended by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) on Saturday. Qureshi is now anticipated to make his appearance before the newly established special court for a hearing pertaining to a cipher case registered under the Official Secrets Act.

The court's proceedings will be conducted in-camera, adhering to the legal requirements to maintain the confidentiality of sensitive information. The decision to establish this specialized court reflects the government's commitment to addressing matters involving classified data in a controlled and secure environment.

Anti-terrorism court (ATC) judge Abul Hasnat has been entrusted with the additional responsibility of presiding over cases associated with the Official Secrets Act. This strategic decision ensures that cases of this nature receive due diligence from a legal perspective.

The establishment of this dedicated court underscores Pakistan's efforts to address matters related to classified information with a heightened level of scrutiny and a commitment to transparency within the bounds of the law.
