Naib qazi Ibrahim Ali claimed that his qazi Zaheeruddin had government orders in his favour, naib qazi Basharat Ali Khan asserted that his chief Mohd Shujauddin Khazi Gazibanda had occupied the seat on the orders of the High Court.

Police reached the spot but did not intervene so as to allow the naib qazis to settle the issue amicably.

It was later decided that the naib qazi who had been approached by the family to solemnise the nikah would perform the ceremony.
