The civil judge, Qudratullah, while hearing the case at Adiala Jail reserved its verdict in the case related to allegedly solemnising during Iddat period against Khan and his wife.

Salman Akram filed an application before the court seeking to present a witness from Bushra Bibi's house, which the court rejected.
