During the hearing, Punjab Assistant Advocate General Afshan Ghazanfar and Gujranwala police appeared before the bench.

Meanwhile, the bench directed Gujranwala police to recover the abducted sisters within six weeks and warned that no more time would be given to the police in this regard.

During the last hearings of the case, the deposed Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry had ordered the Gujranwala police to ensure recovery of two sisters. The police had repeatedly told the court that they were trying their level best to recover them, adding that they had received information that both the girls had been taken to the United Arab Emirates and then to the United Kingdom.

The police had sought more time-from the apex court for the recovery of the girls.
