Pakistan’s former Sikh lawmaker has filed a petition in court seeking the arrest and deportation of an Indian Sikh woman. The plea alleges that the woman has overstayed her visa and violated immigration rules while residing in Pakistan.
Officials confirmed that the petition was submitted to a local court, which has been asked to direct authorities to take immediate action. The petitioner argued that the woman’s continued stay in Pakistan is unlawful and poses concerns regarding compliance with immigration regulations.
The case has drawn attention due to its sensitive nature, involving cross-border individuals and the legal framework governing foreign nationals in Pakistan. Authorities are expected to review the matter in accordance with established procedures.
Legal experts noted that the court will examine the merits of the petition before issuing any directives. The outcome could set a precedent for handling similar cases involving foreign nationals accused of overstaying or violating visa conditions.
The petition underscores ongoing scrutiny of immigration compliance in Pakistan, with courts playing a central role in adjudicating disputes related to residency and deportation.
