Pakistan SC accepts Imran plea for bail

Pakistan's Supreme Court has agreed to hear the bail plea of jailed ex-PM Imran Khan in a cipher case related to leaking state secrets. Khan, who has been behind bars since August, faces numerous cases filed against him following his removal from power. The court suspended a three-year sentence awarded to him in a corruption case, but he remains in custody on orders of a special court. Khan and his deputy have both pleaded not guilty and approached the apex court for bail.
