The petitioner adopted the stance that he was born in Pakistan and was living here for the last 24 years. The chief justice remarked that like many countries, including America, our law also was bound to give citizenship to a person born here.

The officials of the ministry assured the court that the decision regarding the citizenship would be taken after birth certificate was received.
