Metropolitan Magistrate Pankaj Shah of the Bandra Metropolitan Court also ruled that since Faisal appeared to be mentally disturbed as per a medical report submitted to the court, he must report to a local police station every alternate day to mark his presence and undergo a check-up and treatment at the state-run J.J. Hospital in south Mumbai.

In case Faisal's behaviour was found abnormal during the one-month period, the police were ordered to take him into custody immediately to prevent any untoward incident, the magistrate ruled, and ordered Faisal to appear before the court after a month.

Faisal, 41, suffers from periodic lapses into schizo-affective psychosis, according to the psychiatry department of the J.J. Hospital.

He was produced before the court following a missing-person complaint lodged by his mother Zeenat, sister Nikhat and brother Aamir with the Khar police station on Oct 15.

The next day they filed an application contending that Faisal was mentally unstable and needed to be admitted to hospital for treatment.
