Ayyan's counsel, Sardar Ishaq, argued that an investigation team is bound to produce complete challan within 15 days of commencement.
Judge Sabir Sultan adjourned the hearing of the ongoing case till May 18 and ordered the team to provide the relevant documents in the next hearing.
On April 25, the investigators probing money laundering charges against Ayyan had submitted an interim charge-sheet in court and included two new suspects for interrogation.
