“We are advising the Chief Justice to be cautious. There is still an opportunity for the Chief Justice to reconsider his decision,” said Maulana Saifi.

The investigating officer informed the court that a photogrammetric test needed to be conducted on the suspect and a microphone needed to be recovered, for which physical remand was necessary.

The court allowed the police a seven-day physical remand of the suspect accordingly.
