In this case, the petitioner filed a petition requesting the Islamabad High Court to direct the government to lift the ban imposed on the social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter). The petitioner's counsel argued that the ban, in effect since February 17, 2024, was implemented without any lawful justification or clear basis, which infringes on the rights of citizens to access social media for information and expression.
The court issued a notice to the respondents, requiring them to respond to the petitioner’s claims by the following week. Additionally, the court granted an exemption in C.M No.02 of 2024, subject to just and legal exceptions. The case was adjourned for further proceedings pending the government’s response to the petition.
