The court asked counsel for Haqqani, Asma Jehangir to participate in security arrangements along with Inspector General (IG) and Home Secretary.

Jehangir demanded delay in hearing until the elections were complete owing busy schedules of the home department.

Earlier during the hearing, the chief justice expressed dismay over absence of Secretary Home hearing and ordered him to appear before the court till 11:30 AM but later continued with the hearing without his presence.

The hearing was adjourned till March 11, 2013.
