The second complaint came from Karachi resident Amjad Hussain Durrani, who alleged that a Supreme Court case was dismissed without hearing, constituting misconduct. The council rejected this claim too.

A third complaint by Kamran Khan of Karachi alleged his petition was dismissed without being heard. It was unanimously ruled inadmissible.
