The court further ordered the investigation officer to arrest and produce the accused in court on June 4.
This is not the first time non-bailable arrest warrants have been issued for these individuals.
In January, a Karachi-based ATC issued non-bailable arrest warrants for Altaf and 20 others over the former’s disparaging remarks against Pakistan Army in July 2015.
