The investigation officer was ordered to record the statements of all the offenders, including Umar, and present the report in court on the next hearing. Sattar and Khanum also put forth their bail pleas during the hearing.
Advocate Hassan Sabir stated that his client had no involvement in the case and that he has been declared innocent in the police challan. "Even Bhola did not name him; hence the bail plea of my client should be accepted," the counsel argued.
The court granted interim bail to both offenders against a surety of Rs100,000 and adjourned the hearing till December 30. It reserved its decision in Bhola’s bail plea.
