On Oct 11, 2019 Mr Hamdullah lost his citizenship when Nadra declared him an ‘alien’.
Subsequently, the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (Pemra) banned his appearance on TV channels.
IHC Chief Justice Athar Minallah has termed Pemra’s notification as “misuse of authority”.
Justice Minallah allowed the petition of Hamdullah against Nadra’s notification. He cited Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court Earl Warren in his dissenting opinion in the case titled ‘Clemente Martinez Perez v. Herbert Brownell, Jr., Attorney General of the United States of America’ [356 U.S 44 (1958)] that ‘citizenship is man’s basic right for it is nothing less than the right to have rights. Remove this priceless possession and there remains a stateless person, disgraced and degraded in the eyes of his countrymen’.
