Supreme Court Judge Justice Yahya Afridi has ordered to conduct an open court hearing on the petition filed against the mass deportation of illegal immigrants from Pakistan.

The top court issued the written order for the in-chamber hearing conducted by Justice Afridi on November 20.

It is pertinent to mention that Senator Farhatullah Babar, Senator Mushtaq Ahmed Khan, and Mohsin Dawar filed a petition at the apex court, which the registrar returned with objections.

The petitioners later filed an in-chamber appeal against the objections raised by the Supreme Court registrar.

Justice Afridi conducted the in-chamber hearing on the petition and said that the objections of the registrar’s office are of a legal nature.

The court went on to add that the objections raised on the petition should be reviewed by the court, and the case should be fixed in an open court for hearing.
