Pakistani Children File Writ Petition In Karnataka HC Seeking Time To Return Home
Bengaluru: Three Pakistani children have filed a writ petition in the Karnataka High Court seeking time until May 15 to return to Pakistan. The petition, filed through their mother, Ransha Jahan from Mysuru, requests an extension of their stay in India to avoid forced deportation. The petitioners — Bibi Yameena, Muhammad Mudassir, and Muhammad Yusuf — were born to a Pakistani father and an Indian mother. Their father, Muhammad Farooq, is a Pakistani citizen, and their mother, Ransha Jahan, is an Indian national from Mysuru. According to the petition, Ransha Jahan and Muhammad Farooq were married under Sharia law on September 9, 2015, in Pishin, Pakistan. The couple had three children, all of whom hold Pakistani citizenship, whereas Ransha never acquired Pakistani nationality. On January 4, 2025, Ransha Jahan entered India with her children on valid visas. These visas were initially valid until June 18, but the Indian government later cancelled them and directed the family to leave the country by April 30. Following these developments, the family attempted to exit India through the Attari border. However, the children returned to Mysuru after their father failed to arrive at the border to take them into Pakistan. Fearing forced deportation, the children approached the High Court through their mother. The Karnataka High Court has issued a notice to the central government and scheduled the next hearing for May 8.

CNN's Nic Robertson interviews victims' families at LoC
Listen to article CNN's International Diplomatic Editor Nic Robertson visited the Line of Control (LoC), where he met with the families of two civilians allegedly killed in a fake encounter by the Indian Army. The visit included a stop at the location where Muhammad Farooq and Muhammad Deen were martyred. Their families, speaking to CNN on camera, made emotional appeals for justice and revealed details of the alleged incident. According to local sources, the CNN team was briefed on alleged human rights violations and broader concerns over the Indian military's conduct along the LoC. Defence experts speaking to the media stated that such fake encounters are becoming a growing international concern, drawing attention from rights groups and global media. Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar accompanied a delegation of both local and foreign journalists to key locations along the LoC. According to officials, the visit was intended to counter what Pakistan describes as false and baseless propaganda by India regarding alleged terrorist hideouts. Journalists were taken to specific sites India has previously labelled as militant camps. By observing the ground situation firsthand, hearing testimonies from local residents, and surveying the environment, the media delegation was given a chance to independently verify the facts. Speaking during the visit, Minister Tarar said, 'India has repeatedly made baseless accusations against Pakistan. Today, we have presented all the facts before both national and international media.'

Luxury vehicles for ACs challenged in SC
Member of the Provincial Assembly from Jamaat-e-Islami Muhammad Farooq has challenged the SHC's decision on the purchase of 138 double-cabin vehicles for Assistant Commissioners in the Supreme Court (SC). The appeal, filed through advocate Usman Farooq, contests the March 28 decision of the SHC that dismissed a petition against the purchase. He argued that the govt has initiated the procurement of these vehicles for the bureaucracy at an estimated cost of around Rs two billion, with a notification issued on September three. The vehicles will be purchased using public funds, generated from taxes paid by the citizens. Given the country's inflation rate exceeding 28 per cent, as per the State Bank's report, the plea argues that public money should be utilised for the welfare of the citizens. The purchase of luxury vehicles for the bureaucracy serves no public benefit and constitutes a misuse of authority.
