The case was heard by Judge Tanveer Awan upon request by Rasheed.
Mian Hassan explained that he has no link with the case and never tortured police personnel but that he feared the police would arrest him before completion of the investigation, therefore his interim bail should be accepted.
The court accepted the argument and granted interim bail
