It also ordered that if they fail to comply coercive process should be adopted for securing his attendance on February 04.
In case of another PPP leader, Dr Zulfiqar Mirza, court was told by Liaison Officer DIG Niaz Khoso that process server has talked with Dr Mirza but as Process Server was ill, he was unable to appear and submit his report. The tribunal asked Special Public Prosecutor (SPP) Arshad Lodhi to ensure appearance of process server on February 4 to submit a report about serving of summons upon Dr Mirza.
