- IHC issued a stay order on Imran Khan's in-camera cipher trial till Jan 11, citing "legal errors"
- Trial was being conducted at Adiala Jail after Imran and Qureshi were indicted for a second time on Dec 13
- Cipher case pertains to a diplomatic document allegedly not returned by Imran
- IHC had earlier termed the government's notification for a jail trial "erroneous" and scrapped the proceedings
- Supreme Court approved post-arrest bails for Imran and Qureshi but Qureshi was re-arrested outside Adiala jail in a fresh case
