ISLAMABAD: The Indian citizen Uzma has submitted a petition at IHC, in which she has requested to be sent back to India to meet her minor daughter who is not well.
In the petition, she has requested the court to exempt her from reporting to the police and to allow her to leave for India so that she could meet her daughter who is not in the best of health.
High Commission of India First Secretary Dr Piyush Singh also reached the court on Friday along with Uzma’s lawyer.
Tahir Ali, her husband, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are the respondents in her petition.
According to Uzma, her husband Tahir tricked her into marrying him since she had no knowledge of his first wife. He also snatched her travel documents, according to her. She has requested the foreign ministry to issue a duplicate immigration form. The Indian national has also asked the court to provide her security on the way from Islamabad to the Wagah border so that Tahir can be stopped from harassing her.
Uzma, 20, sought refuge at the Indian High Commission last week asked to be repatriated to India after her marriage to Tahir Ali, a resident of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, claiming she came to know later that Ali was already married and had four children. Her claims were denied by Tahir.
On May 9, the Pakistani foreign office said Uzma would only be sent back once all legal requirements in the case are completed.
Uzma, who belongs to New Delhi, and Tahir met each other in Malaysia, after which she travelled to Pakistan on May 1 via the Wagah border, and got married to him on May 3, according to Tahir.
