PTA challenges IHC verdict in Supreme Court
IHC ruled the governments action of blocking the unregistered phone on security measures as illegal
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – The Supreme Court (SC) of Pakistan issued a legal notice to attorney general (AG) of Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) over their appeal against the Islamabad High Court’s (IHC) decision on not approving the suspension of unregistered cellular licenses.
The IHC ruled the government’s action of suspending the unregistered mobile phones on the pretext of security measures as illegal.
A three-member bench headed by Justice Azmat Saeed heard the PTA’s appeal.
The court remarked that cellular devices are also used in the terrorist activities, therefore the security measures should also be considered in this regard.
Next hearing is scheduled for April 26.
