At the order of the Judicial Magistrate Muhammad Yousaf Abdul Rehman, bailable warrants of arrest of PKR 50,000 have been issued against the accused Iffat Omar. Moreover, Ali Gull Pir has been summoned through non-bailable warrants of arrest for October 6, 2021.

The application for permanent dispensation of the accused persons namely Faizan Raza, Haseem Uz Zaman, Fariha Ayub, and Leena Ghani was filed on the ground that they are permanent residents of Karachi, living with their families and doing jobs, therefore, it is very difficult for them to appear in the court. However, their counsel will appear in the court on behalf of accused persons.
