Islamabad: Prime Minister Imran Khan on Monday took notice of delay in appointment process of chairman of National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA).
The premier said that the tenure of the incumbent Nadra Chairman Usman Mobin is going to end on February 7, 2021 but the process for appointment of his successor has not yet been launched.
Khan has directed the Ministry of Interior to initiate the process.
Mobin was appointed as Nadra chief in 2015 during the government of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and its tenure period was extended for another three years in 2018.
In November 2020, the Islamabad High Court (IHC) had dismissed petitions filed against the appointment of Usman Mobin as chairman of the Nadra.
Justice Aamer Farooq in his verdict said that “There is no legal flaw in the appointment of the chairman Nadra nor it can be said that the incumbent did not fulfill the eligibility requirements as provided in Section 3 (7) of the Nadra Ordinance or the advertisement.”
