Peshawar: The Peshawar High Court has directed a citizen named Qaid-e-Azam to appear before the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) Board in connection with the blocking of his Computerised National Identity Card (CNIC).
The case was heard by a bench comprising Justice Waqar Ahmad and Justice Inamullah Khan, following a petition challenging the blocking of the applicant’s identity card.
During the hearing, counsel for the petitioner informed the court that the applicant is a businessman and that the blocking of his CNIC had caused him significant difficulties.
Representing NADRA, the authority’s Director Legal told the court that the applicant’s identity card had been blocked because it was considered suspicious, necessitating further verification.
After hearing arguments from both sides, the Peshawar High Court directed the petitioner to appear before the NADRA Board, which will examine the matter and decide the case in accordance with the relevant legal procedures.
The court’s order allows the administrative review process to proceed before the appropriate NADRA forum, where the applicant will have an opportunity to present his case regarding the status of his CNIC.
