  The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has advised citizens to collect their Computerized National Identity Cards (CNICs) promptly after issuance. NADRA warned that identity cards remaining uncollected for more than three months are disposed of in accordance with policy.

Authorities urged applicants to collect their CNICs from the NADRA office as soon as the processing period is complete to avoid inconvenience. In a related advisory, NADRA also asked citizens to cancel the CNICs of deceased family members.

Islamabad High Court Suspends Imran Khan's Arrest Warrants, Allows Him to Appear in Trial Court Tomorrow


 
The Islamabad High Court (IHC) has suspended non-bailable arrest warrants issued for Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan until March 18th, giving him a chance to appear before the trial court hearing the Toshakhana reference against former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. The development comes as a relief for Khan, who had been declared a proclaimed offender by the court for failing to appear before it.

The Toshakhana reference pertains to alleged misuse of official luxury vehicles, gifted by foreign dignitaries to the former prime minister, by the Prime Minister's House and the Toshakhana (state repository). Imran Khan is accused of using one of these vehicles himself during his time as an opposition leader, and the case has been ongoing for several years.

The IHC's decision to suspend the arrest warrants comes as a result of Khan's counsel's argument that the PTI chairman had not been properly served with a notice to appear before the trial court. The court had earlier issued the non-bailable arrest warrants after Khan failed to appear in court despite being summoned several times.

The suspension of the arrest warrants is a significant development in the case and has given Imran Khan an opportunity to appear before the trial court and defend himself against the charges levelled against him. Khan has consistently maintained that the charges against him are politically motivated and that he is being targeted by his political opponents.

Imran Khan, who is Former Prime Minister of Pakistan, has been embroiled in several legal battles throughout his political career. He has also faced criticism for his government's handling of the economy and the COVID-19 pandemic.

The suspension of the arrest warrants in the Toshakhana reference case is likely to provide some relief to the PTI chairman, who has been facing mounting pressure from his political opponents and the public in recent months. The case against him, however, is likely to continue, and it remains to be seen how the trial court will respond to his appearance in court.

In conclusion, the suspension of the non-bailable arrest warrants against Imran Khan in the Toshakhana reference case is a significant development in the ongoing legal battle against the former prime minister Nawaz Sharif. It provides Khan with an opportunity to defend himself against the charges levelled against him and puts the onus on him to appear before the trial court and present his case. The case is likely to continue, and it remains to be seen how it will impact Imran Khan's political career and his government's agenda in the coming months.
