Accountability Court Judge Mohammad Bashir will hear the case of both accused in the same case.

The appearance of Asif Ali Zardari and Faryal Talpur is subjected to security approval as both siblings will not be presented before the court due to the anti-government march.

Zardari has been hospitalized at the PIMS Hospital due to worsening health while Faryal Talpur is in Adiala Jail on the judicial remand.
