REGIONAL MANAGER, NADRA RHO, HAYATABAD, PESHAWAR VS Mst. HAJIRA S. 11---National Database and Registration Authority (Pakistan Origin Card) Rules, 2002, R. 10(1)---Pakistan Origin Card (POC), issuance of---Unnecessary litigation by National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) ['the Authority']---High Court allowed writ petition of respondents and directed the Authority to issue POC to one of the respondents---Counsel for the Authority stated that the POC has now been issued, therefore, the grievance of the respondents stood redressed---Supreme Court observed that it was unfortunate that the Authority rather than doing its job in the first instance had compelled the respondents to file a writ petition before the High Court, which was allowed; that the decision of the High Court was challenged before the Supreme Court, when certain questions were raised, and only then better sense prevailed and the Authority issued the POC to the respondent; that the Authority was a statutory organization and should have abided by its own law, and not generated unnecessary litigation---Petition was disposed of.
