Chief Justice Amir Farooq said that let me make one thing clear that the injunction is not for blocking SIMs, the stay order was only to provide protection to the petitioners, the order of the government to block SIMs is still in the field, the court can understand it. It is said that the government is focusing on economic reforms, this step may have been taken in the context of those reformers, the court will try to decide this case as soon as possible.
The court adjourned the hearing of the case till June.
