Chaudhry Mohammad Iqbal, through his lawyer, moved an application under Section 25 of Guardian and Wards Act seeking custody of Abdullah. Impleading the Edhi Foundation as respondent, the applicant submitted that being father of Abdullah, he was natural and legal guardian of the minor. He also affixed a no-objection certificate of the grandmother of Abdullah regarding his custody. Due to summer vacations at courts, the applicant also moved another application for urgent hearing of the plea.
