Summoning witnesses, the court adjourned the hearing until July 25 due to the absence of the government's lawyer.

An ATC also sent Allama Ghulam Jaffer Jatoi to prison for three days and imposed a fine of Rs15,000 on him for defying court orders that restricted him from travelling outside Punjab and making a public address even after his name was included in the fourth schedule list. The fourth schedule is a list of people closely monitored due to their possible links with militant groups or involvement in harmful activities.
