Justice Kausar Sultana also inquired, asking if he had been interrogated. Mohammad Javaid Khan replied that he did not know where he was being kept for the last six years as he was blind folded, claiming that he was detained due to the affiliation with the political party Muttahida Qaumi Movement Pakistan (MQM-P). 

Mohammad Javaid’s mother, present in court, expressed her joy at her son’s return after six years, requested the court to unblock her son’s National Identity Card (NIC), which had been blocked, and called for the reinstatement of his job at the Karachi Water and Sewerage Board (KWSB).
