Muhammad Khan Bhatti and other co-accused appeared before the court and marked their attendance. During the hearing, an application for Parvez Elahi\u2019s one-day exemption from appearance was filed, which the court accepted. The lawyer of co-accused Mukhtar Ranjha completed arguments on his client\u2019s acquittal plea. The court summoned the remaining accused for arguments on their acquittal petitions at the next hearing. It is noteworthy that accused Ijaz, Zohaib-ul-Hassan, Haider Shafqat, and Mukhtar Ranjha have already filed petitions seeking acquittal. The prosecution informed the court that three accused, including Inayatullah Lak and Rai Mumtaz, had been declared proclaimed offenders. The court sought the record of the absconding accused from the prosecution and adjourned the hearing until November 6.
