During the hearing of the petition, seeking recovery of Haroon Muhammad, Justice Miangul Hassan Aurangzeb ordered the government to make the payment before the next hearing of the case.

The court also ordered registration of the case against the security personnel.
Additional Attorney General Munawar Iqbal Duggal appeared in the court.
