The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) cannot revoke the citizenship of any citizen based on a mere intelligence report, the Islamabad High Court (IHC) has ruled.
IHC Chief Justice Athar Minallah on Saturday issued a detailed 29-page judgment in JUI-F leader Hafiz Hamdullah's case.
NADRA, on October 11, 2019, had declared Hamdullah an "alien" and revoked his citizenship.
Subsequently, on May 19 this year, the IHC declared NADRA's action to block former senator Hamadullah's CNIC as illegal and ordered it to restore his national identity card.
