The mother, dissatisfied with the perplexing error, has filed a petition in the Sindh High Court (SHC) to address the matter. The petitioner’s lawyer, Nasir Ahmad, emphasized the gravity of the situation, revealing that NADRA’s records indicate Umar Raza having three mothers: his grandmother, biological mother, and stepmother.
During the court proceedings, Nasir Ahmad shed light on the historical separation of the boy’s parents, underscoring the potential complications that could arise in Umar Raza’s life due to NADRA’s erroneous documentation. The lawyer argued that such inaccuracies could have far-reaching implications for the teenager’s future.
Concerned about the welfare and legal standing of Umar Raza, the SHC took cognizance of the case and issued a notice to NADRA, compelling the authority to provide a response. The court’s intervention underscores the significance of rectifying the bureaucratic oversight promptly, as it not only impacts the individual’s identity but also has the potential to create legal complexities for Umar Raza in the years to come. The unfolding legal proceedings will determine the corrective measures to be taken by NADRA to rectify this unusual and potentially problematic situation.
