Counsel for Momina Iqbal urged the court to reject the interim bail, arguing that the accused’s release could pose a risk to the complainant. The defense, however, requested that the interim bail remain in place.
After hearing the preliminary arguments and reviewing the investigating officer’s report, the court sought final arguments from both sides and **extended the interim bail of Saqib Chadhar and his wife until September 3**. The hearing was adjourned until the next scheduled date.
