The court’s decision was made public through a six-page written order issued by Justice Abhar Gul Khan. The order was based on the written pleas filed by Saad Ramzan, Shoaib Riyaz, and Salman Aziz. The court directed the accused to submit a surety bond of one million rupees each to secure their release.

However, the court stated that there was no evidence to prove that the bribe was received directly from the complainant. The order also mentioned that the accused individuals used to take bribes from call centers as well, but no witness came forward to testify against them.
The court also ruled that the seized amount of $326,420 from Saad Ramzan’s digital account was related to the case, but the transfer of funds to his personal account by the investigating officer would be decided in the trial.
