The court expressed anger at the non-appearance of the superintendent. The court asked why Sheikh Rashid was not being given a chance to meet his family.
Sheikh Rasheed's lawyer Sardar Shahbaz filed another contempt of court petition in which he argued that his client was not being given B-class in jail. However, a jail official said that facilities were being provided to Rashid.
After hearing the arguments of the parties, the ATC judge issued a notice to the superintendent and ordered him to submit a reply.
