The court also granted two weeks to the Ministry of Interior Affairs to decide over placing his name on the Exit Control List (ECL).
The decision was announced as the IHC read out its earlier reserved verdict over the killing of an Islamabad resident, Ateeq Baig, after he was hit by a vehicle driven by Joseph last month.
The diplomat's vehicle ran a red light and rammed into a motorcycle in the federal capital on April 7, killing Baig on the spot and injuring another. The diplomat was let go by police after registration of a case.
The deceased father filed a petition that Joseph's name should be included in the ECL. He had taken the stance that US diplomat, while intoxicated, hit his son who died on the spot.
In another development in the case, one of Joseph's security officials, was also arrested on the orders of Assistant Inspector General of Islamabad Police, Asmatullah Junejo.
The security official, Taimur, was arrested for trying to help Joseph flee from the Police Station. Arrest orders were also issued for all other officials involved in trying to help Joseph flee.
