It is pointed out by the public body that earlier this Commission decided the same query filed by the appellant through appeal no. 1311-09-2021 titled “ Mumtaz Hussain vs National Database and Registration Authority” vide order dated 11-01-2022. The appeal no. 1311-09-2021 was not allowed and closed with the following observations which may be considered integral part of this appeal:
a. “The issues raised by the appellant in his application cannot be resolved by the NADRA authorities rather they are bound to implement the orders of the court of law. The alleged issues can be decided by the civil court after the recording of the evidence and the matter is pending adjudication for the resolve. Since, the matter is sub judice before the court of competent jurisdiction the appeal in hand is therefore premature.
b. The resolve of the application in issue is not in the domain of the NADRA authorities therefore neither the application is decided nor there exist the requested record with the respondent organization. The application as well as the appeal are misconceived and cannot proceed any further before the Commission.”
It is noticed that the appellant has not disclosed the fact about the filing of the earlier appeal. The seekers of information under the Act are expected not to conceal the facts in their appeal before the Commission or application before the public body, as the case may be.
The appeal is not allowed and closed.
