Justices Indira Banerjee and JK Maheshwari have decided to hear the matter tomorrow. Mohammed Zubair's lawyer, Colin Gonsalves, defended himself in court, saying it needed to be heard immediately.

He further said that my client is getting death threats. In such a situation, it is necessary to hear it from their safety point of view. MohammeZubair's lawyer told the court that, "The anticipatory bail plea was rejected. He is getting death threats and his opponents can kill him. In such a situation, this issue needs to be heard immediately, because we are concerned about their safety.'' Earlier, Zubair had moved the Allahabad High Court seeking quashing of the FIR, but could not get relief from the High Court.

On June 13, the Allahabad High Court refused to dismiss the case registered against Zubair.
