The judge inquired about Ali Amin Gandapur’s whereabouts.

Gandapur’s lawyer Raja Zahoor informed the court that his client was busy in Kurram due to a law and order situation. Therefore, his exemption from appearance has been sought. Awan informed the court that Omar Ayub was due to appear before a JIT in Lahore. The judge remarked that the verdict on all would be issued simultaneously.
