The chief justice remarked that there were many outlets available now for biometric verification. The court asked the lawyer to ensure biometric of his client and submit receipt. Salman Akram Raja said that his client was no more a member parliament as he had submitted his resignation. The court, however, granted time to the lawyer for submission of comments and instructed him to also provide the copy of answer to the petitioner.
