This is just a money earning tactic by the WaridTel Pakistan. If the permission of the user B is required for user A to get exact location of the user B why he should not make a telephone call to his friend and ask him straight where you are right now? or simply send him a message asking for his location.
The 2nd strange fact is that Service will not find you friend’s location if his/her mobile phone is switched off and even then you will be charged for the service.
