The PTI on Thursday said Mr Khan's legal team would challenge the verdict in the so-called Cipher case – relating to state secrets – and appeal for suspension of conviction and sentencing at the Islamabad High Court.

Mr Khan’s legal team on Tuesday filed an appeal in the Supreme Court to challenge the rejection of his nomination papers in two constituencies.
