The Islamabad High Court (IHC) has suspended a judgment of its single bench which had declared illegal the suspension of mobile phone service in the federal capital, especially during the Pakistan Day Parade of March 23.
A division bench of the IHC, comprising Justice Aamer Farooq and Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani, granted interim stay on an intra-court appeal (ICA) by the federal government, challenging the February 26 verdict of IHC judge Athar Minallah.
Justice Minallah had issued the verdict on several petitions that challenged the frequent suspension of mobile phone service offered in the federal capital by various companies. The petitions were filed around March 23, 2016 against the intermittent suspension of mobile service.
