The counsel said that under Article 19-A of the Constitution it was the fundamental right of the petitioner to be provided with details of cases against him. During course of hearing when Justice Attique Shah inquired from Mr Javed to which area he belonged, he replied he hailed from Zaida village of Swabi district. Addressing him, the bench observed that he was also son of this soil what future planning they had for the youth of the province as almost 70 per cent had been unemployed. Mr Javed agreed with him, stating that his party primary focus was on youth as they were asset of the country. Justice Attique Shah commented that youth had been getting addicted to ice (crystal meth) and steps should be taken on war footings to address the issue. The bench observed that there were colleges at every tehsil level and also universities in a large number, therefore government should take advantage of the educational institutions for imparting skills to youth.

Meanwhile, Advocate Ali Zaman appeared for MPA Iftikhar Mishwani and requested the bench to grant him protective bail. He also sought directives for the government to provide details about the number of criminal cases wherein he had been charged. During course of hearing of these petitions, the bench observed that in the cases of petitioners belonging to other provinces the bench would only grant protective bails to them and they should approach relevant courts for getting further relief. It added that details of cases would be sought only in petitions wherein the petitioner belonged to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Meanwhile, Faisal Javed told journalists that the present government had created new records of registering cases on political grounds. He said that PTI founder Imran Khan was facing record number of cases and he would emerge victorious in all those cases. He regretted that on the one hand the government was engaged in talks with his party and on the other hand it was arresting party workers in concocted cases.
