The three-member Implementation Bench headed by Justice Ejaz Afzal had ordered the attorney general over the federal government’s response regarding Hussain Nawaz’s photo leak issue. Justice Azmat Saeed Sheikh had given the task to the additional attorney general to inform the court about the federal government’s stance on making public the name of the person who leaked the photo.

The picture, where Hussain can be seen sitting in what is reportedly the interrogation room of the JIT on May 28, went viral on social media after being leaked surreptitiously. That was Hussain's first appearance before the JIT.
