The matter was taken up by Senior Civil Judge Abbas Shah. During the hearing, the court noted Afridi’s absence and ordered law enforcement authorities to arrest him and produce him before the court.

The court’s order came during ongoing proceedings in the case before the Islamabad court, where Afridi’s non-appearance led to the issuance of the warrants.
