            --------------------------------------

 

            Petitioners claim to be Bangali Nationals and intend to travel to Bangladesh. Their case is that whenever they attempt to travel to Bangladesh, they are restrained by the respondents on the pretext of incomplete documents; hence this petition.

           

            DSP Ayaz Ahmed, Foreign Registration Office, Special Branch, Karachi has filed comments on behalf of respondents 2 and 5 and submits that they would have no objection to the travel of petitioners if they submit the relevant documents, duly verified by the relevant departments at their request.

 

            Sub Inspector Adnan Iqbal of FIA has filed a statement and states that the petitioners before travelling to Bangladesh are required to fulfill some formalities, after which they would be allowed to travel to Bangladesh without any hindrance from the FIA.

 

            Learned counsel for petitioners is satisfied with the above statements and submits that petitioners would submit all the relevant documents for verification and fulfill all the formalities as raised by the respondents. Counsel for petitioner has relied upon the order dated 09.04.2024, passed by this Court in C.P. No.D-1446/2024. 

 

            This petition is, therefore, disposed of with the direction to the respondents that as and when the documents are submitted by the petitioners, the same shall be scrutinized as per law within the shortest possible time and the petitioners be permitted to travel to Bangladesh.
