ISLAMABAD: Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Friday expressed annoyance over the details filed by National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) pertaining to the amendment of Khatam-e-Nabuwat clause in Election Act 2017 case.
A single bench of IHC presided over by Justice Shaukat Aziz Siddiqui took up the case for hearing.
At the beginning of the hearing, NADRA filed the record regarding Qadyanis who were registered in Pakistan.
According to the record, 1,67,473 Qadyanis were registered in Pakistan and 10,205 out of them had adopted the status of Qadianis after having changed their national identity card status to Muslim.
The data of the persons who got the status of Qadyanis was filed in a sealed envelope in the court during the hearing of the case.
The judge asked that could Nadra change the religion of any Pakistani Muslim possessing a national identity card.
NADRA acting chairman replied that no such option was available in the system.
The judge, while expressing annoyance, said that it was a big fraud with the state and Muslim Ummah because nobody could change their religion without the permission of the court. People show their religion as Islam by lying in order to seek government job and they convert to their original religion after retirement, he added.
The court, while issuing stay orders, ordered that nobody could change their religion in the future without the permission of the court.
The court adjourned the hearing of the case till Monday.
