Impleading the Edhi Foundation as respondent, the applicant submitted that being father of Abdullah, he was natural and legal guardian of the minor. He also affixed a no-objection certificate of the grandmother of Abdullah regarding his custody. Due to summer vacations at courts, the applicant also moved another application for urgent hearing of the plea.
