In the Supreme Court, a three-member bench headed by Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa heard the petition.

Expressing his anger, Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa said, “Why not fine you for such a futile litigation, what is the duty of the Additional Advocate General?”
How in this way, useless petitions are filed, real cases are sidelined and false and false cases are filed, public resources as well as court time are being wasted by filing useless cases.
Later, the court rejected the appeal of the Punjab government and ordered the land owner to pay the compensation amount.
