Sardar Latif Khosa, counsel for former chairman PTI and NAB prosecutor Sardar Muzaffar Abbasi, along with his team, appeared in the court.

Later, Sardar Latif Khosa, talking to the media, said when crime agency recovered 190 million pounds, it was deposited in the Supreme Court (SC) account with the willingness of NAB and Rs35 billion were deposited in the SC account under Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP). Former chairman PTI and his wife Bushra Bibi had nothing to do with Rs190 million pounds. The former chairman PTI was only called and the entire cabinet should have been called in this case.
