Islamabad High Court Declares Deportation Practices Unlawful

The Islamabad High Court has ruled that including individuals deported for visa overstays on the Passport Control List (PCL) is unlawful. Justice Muhammad Asif issued a four-page judgment stating that such practices violate constitutional rights.

Court Finds No Legal Basis for Petitioner’s PCL Listing

The court directed authorities to remove a petitioner’s name from the PCL, finding no legal justification for his inclusion. The ruling emphasizes that deportation based solely on overstaying does not meet criteria for travel restrictions.

Judgment Highlights Constitutional Protections Against Travel Restrictions

The judgment underscores that restricting a citizen’s right to travel and work abroad without evidence of wrongdoing violates constitutional rights related to personal liberty, due process, dignity, and equality before the law.
