PESHAWAR: The Peshawar High Court (PHC) has adjourned the hearing of the case regarding the removal of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Faisal Javed’s name from the Provisional National Identity List (PNIL) till tomorrow (Thursday). The court has decided to hear the case and decide on Thursday.
PHC two-member bench comprising Justice Sahibzada Asadullah and Justice Aurangzeb. The counsel for the petitioner, Alam Khan Adinzai, Additional Attorney General Sana Ullah, and the representative of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) appeared before the court.
The counsel for the petitioner informed the court that Faisal Javed wants to perform Umrah, but his name is on the list, and he is not being allowed to travel. The court had granted permission for Faisal Javed to perform Umrah, but his name was still placed on the passport control list.
The Additional Attorney General told the court that Faisal Javed’s name was included in the PNIL and passport control list because he did not appear in the cases registered against him in Islamabad. The Islamabad police had recommended adding his name to the list.
Justice Sahibzada Asadullah asked why the court’s orders were not implemented, and the Additional Attorney General replied that they had removed Faisal Javed’s name from the PNIL, but the Islamabad police had recommended adding his name to the passport control list.
Faisal Javed told the court that he was going to perform Umrah in the first decade of Ramadan, but he was stopped at the airport. The court had granted him permission, but he was still not allowed to travel.
Justice Sahibzada Asadullah asked how Faisal Javed’s name was added to the list and who had the authority to do so. The FIA representative told the court that the Director of Immigration has the authority, and Faisal Javed’s name was added to the list on the recommendation of the Islamabad police. Justice Sahibzada Asadullah asked where it was written that Faisal Javed’s name was added to the PNIL. The Additional Attorney General replied that all the records were available on the file.
Justice Sahibzada Asadullah said that the court would give time to the parties and hear the case on Thursday. He directed the parties to obtain all the relevant documents from the concerned authorities. After the hearing, Faisal Javed told the media outside the Peshawar High Court that good news would come after Eid. He said that the senior leadership of the PTI was in contact with the opposition parties, and those parties that stood with the constitution, law, and democracy would be accepted by the people.
Faisal Javed said that a strong alliance of opposition parties was being formed. He added that for the supremacy of the constitution and democracy, everyone would have to come out. Faisal Javed criticized the federal ministers for going on foreign tours while the people were facing difficulties due to inflation. He said that the federal cabinet had increased their salaries, but the people were suffering. Faisal Javed said that he was not allowed to go for Umrah, despite the court’s permission. He added that today was a day of great joy for Pakistanis, as on this day in 1992, Pakistan had won the Cricket World Cup.
