The court invalidated the move to include the citizen's name in the Fourth Schedule under the Anti-Terrorism Act.


Lahore: Lahore High Court (LHC) Saturday ordered to tighten the procedure to include the name of the citizens in the Fourth Schedule.
According to details, Justice Ali Baqir Najafi and Justice Amjad Rafiq issued the verdict on the petition filed by a citizen.
The court invalidated the move to include the citizen's name in the Fourth Schedule under the Anti-Terrorism Act.
It has been directed by LHC that a strict procedure should be followed to include one's name in the Fourth Schedule.
It said that after such restrictions, a person cannot live a dignified life. The one included in the fourth schedule has to fill a bond to restrict his movement and can be arrested by the government whenever it wants.
The court said: “The life of a person included in the Fourth Schedule becomes difficult as the information against such people is usually extracted through SMS or WhatsApp messages”.
Lahore High Court has directed that information should be taken from more than one forum before adding a citizen's name in the Fourth Schedule.
