KARACHI:
The Sindh High Court directed on Friday the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) to immediately prepare a policy regarding the provision of National Identity Cards (NICs) to orphans.
A two-member bench, led by Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar, was hearing a plea pertaining to the non-provision of a NIC to an orphaned young man.
The petitioner, Anas Ahmed, informed the court that his mother died while giving birth to him, and he did not know the whereabouts of his father. He claimed he had been brought up by a neighbour.
