After hearing the arguments of both the parties the court directed SHO Race Course to proceed in accordance with law and register a case, if any cognizable offence is committed. Misal Khan, in his application had also submitted that his daughter Sapna Khan was married to Khosa on June 2, 2010, and his daughter gave birth to a baby named Mah Gull on February 28, 2011. He alleged that Khosa used to torture his daughter.

He said when Khosa visited Sargodha for a prize distribution ceremony in August this year, he again assured his daughter Ambreen Rizwan, who lived in Sargodha, that Sapna would return home in due course of time. He stated that some unidentified people had informed his family, a few days ago that his daughter was killed by Khosa and his accomplices while Dost Muhammad Khosa in another case had informed the Lahore High Court that he had divorced Sapna Khan..
