The IHC issued notices to the Interior Secretary, Chief Commissioner, Deputy Commissioner, and Inspector General of Islamabad, requesting their responses.

However, the State Council informed that court that they never received these notices. Consequently, the court reissued the notices and sought responses from the involved parties once more.

The hearing has been adjourned until tomorrow.
