Attorney General for Pakistan Mansoor Usman Awan provided updates on missing persons during the hearing. The court also issued directives for constituting a joint committee of intelligence agencies to trace missing students. The hearing also addressed concerns about enforced disappearances and emphasized the importance of upholding the law. Prime Minister Kakar highlighted the challenges faced in addressing forced disappearances and emphasized the need for all parties to come together to solve the issue. The hearing concluded with AGP Awan providing further arguments in the form of a document.
