Justice Shujaat Ali Khan of the Lahore High Court heard the petition of the actress' ex-husband Umar Farooq Zahoor in which the petitioner challenged the move to include his name in the ECL. The Lahore High Court in its decision named the petitioner as diplomat. The court directed the other parties, including the federal government, to comply with the court order and submit a report within three days and sought all the records of the case.
On the other hand, the public prosecutor said that all the criminal proceedings against Omar Farooq were completed before he became the ambassador of Liberia. The court directed that the name of Omar Farooq should be removed from the ECL and action should be taken to return the red warrant. The court also sought a detailed reply from all parties.
